Embark on the Bridges & Long Mynd loop via Pole Bank, a moderate hike covering 9.0 miles (14.5 km) with an elevation gain of 938 feet (286 metres), typically taking around 4 hours and 3 minutes to complete. This route offers a challenging yet rewarding experience through varied terrain, from stony tracks to grassy paths, as you ascend to the Long Mynd. You will find expansive views, especially from Pole Bank, the highest point, where 360-degree panoramas stretch towards Wales on a clear day. The Long Mynd itself features glorious heather ridges and undulating hills, often adorned with seasonal wildflowers.
The trail is generally considered challenging, requiring good fitness, though its moderate difficulty means steep sections are often not prolonged. Be prepared for a mix of stony tracks and grassy paths, with some public rights of way potentially being muddy or involving a shallow ford. Carding Mill Valley, managed by the National Trust, is a popular area that provides facilities like a car park, information center, and cafe, making it a convenient starting point. If you are looking for refreshments or accommodation, The Bridges Pub in the village of Bridges is a well-regarded, hiker-friendly stopping point.
This loop takes you to Pole Bank, which at 516 meters (1693 feet) is the highest point on the Long Mynd, offering unrivaled panoramic vistas across the Shropshire Hills National Landscape. The Long Mynd is an expansive 7-mile-long heathland plateau, renowned for its diverse terrain and natural beauty. You will also traverse The Portway, an ancient trackway that forms part of the Shropshire Way, providing spectacular views. Keep an eye out for semi-feral ponies and sheep, which contribute to the wild and open feel of the Mynd.
