This glorious heather ridge stretches for 7 miles (11 km) and is the most beloved of all the Shropshire Hills. There are several small yet deep valleys cut into the ridge and the most popular of these is Carding Mill Valley, which is managed by the National Trust. The ancient road known as the Portway is now a wide stony track that runs along the ridge’s crest and affords spectacular views over the landscape.

This place is worth a visit, the views are 360 from up top, and there are many routes up and down, watch out for MTBikers.

I'm a resident of Church Stretton and regularly walk these hills and if you enjoy walking this area I would recommend that you sign up for one of the walks on the Church Stretton Walking Festival. These guided walks will take you on interesting routes.
