Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd
Carding Mill Valley is the popular gateway into the Long Mynd, a great whaleback of heather moorland rising above the Shropshire town of Church Stretton. A stream tumbles down the valley floor, drawing families to paddle and picnic, while paths climb onto the windswept tops with their skylarks and sweeping views. The Mynd's open moor is a place for serious walking, with the gentler valley below for easier days.
