Sturdy footwear recommended, we completed a 4 mile hike, with a couple of steep rock steps to walk up along the way. Other than the steps, the majority of paths are easily accessible. Can get busy when the weather is very good and if you’re lucky, you may get a treat and see the wild horses.

Beautiful valley but very busy!

Carding Mill Valley is a stunning valley that runs north-west out of the charming village of Church Stretton. It is the gateway to a plethora of gentle walks, hikes, and bike rides that are available in the Long Mynd area. The Ashbrooke River runs through the centre of this stunning valley, and located in its upper reaches is Lightspout Waterfall. The valley is bordered by the steep but moderate hills of Bodbury Hill and Haddon Hill to the north and Burway Hill and Cow Ridge to the south. There is a National Trust car park, information centre, and cafe at the start of the valley, but get there early, especially on summer weekends and bank holidays, as this is a very popular area.

awsome views. Nice and sheltered when it's blowing along the ridge.

The cutting is through beds of Highley Sandstone. They were deposited in the river channels on swampy deltas 310 million years ago. Their characteristic grey-green tinge indicates deposition in oxygen-poor conditions of a humid swamp. This is in contrast to the red Alveley Sandstone, seen earlier, formed in the oxygen-rich environment of a semi-arid desert. The pronounced 'bedding planes' running almost horizontally across the rock face, represent breaks in deposition. 'Cross-bedded' or 'current-bedded' layers are inclined at angles to each other. This cross cutting relationship is a result of changing directions in the river current that deposited the sediments, in the same way as changes in wind direction caused the dune-bedding seen in the Bridgnorth Sandstone

Fantastic walk with beautiful scenery along the way easy to follow with the app and great terrain easily a 10/10

beautiful views from the bottom of the valley, and lots of wildlife. This will be more swampy in wet weather.

Fantastic for cyclists and hikers, this stretch of trail is both peaceful and beautiful. The Severn Way and the Mercian Way long-distance trails both use this path to make the most of the gloriously wooded valley between Bridgnorth and Ironbridge. Keep an eye out for remnants of history from the china works to ancient footbridges.
