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.

not the highest summit..but steep getting up

Strong wind on top today

Great views in every direction.

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.

Pleasant enough waterfall, but tends to be busy with visitors.

Nice and easy biking 🙂

Route up to the waterfall is being made increasingly idiot proof ("accessible") by National Trust footpath "improvers". Flow over the waterfall is becoming insignificant due to reduced rainfall in recent times. At the height of last summer (2022) it was a mere trickle and already by Feb this year it's barely more!

Great little scramble up onto the Mynd.

check the weather for wind speed and direction before you ride

Perfect for short hike. Not very steep and great views.

It’s a steep climb up from either side, but the views are more than worth it.

Beautiful rest spot on the way up to Pole Bank. The walking in the Carding valley up to here is simply beautiful. As Tom (above) has pointed out though it is a very busy and popular spot with lots of school groups.

Combine this with a walk over Caer Caradoc and you will have a fine day's outing with stunning panoramic views of the Shropshire hills.

Great views and lovely walking country.

A lovely outing over Caer Caradoc and the Lawley. Beautiful walking country.
