Rather than following the main route up to the top of the Long Mynd, you can take a left fork up Lightspout Hollow, a narrow, steep-sided valley leading up to Lightspout Waterfall. It's a fun, rocky ascent through the hollow and the waterfall itself is very impressive.

This is a good example of a spring water waterfall. However, it can be very busy around here on nice days, we had to fight our way through hordes of school kids to climb the steps to the right of the falls and continue our walk.

Famed English composer and musician Stephen "Bibio" Wilkinson has, just this past week, published a sublime piece based on Lightspout Hollow.
