Two climbs for the price of one on this Moderate plus walk starting from Church Stretton. After ascending the Long Mynd, we return via Ashes Hollow to the pretty village of Little Stretton with its picturesque timber church with thatched roof. We cross the A49 to undertake the second climb of the day up Ragleth Hill with views, on a good day, of the Shropshire Hills. Returning to the car park at Church Stretton with its many tea rooms and pubs. Joint walk with Sandwell and Wolverhampton Ramblers and Wulfrun Walkers.
