Overview

Two climbs for the price of one on this Strenuous walk starting from Church Stretton.

After ascending the Long Mynd,we return via Ashes Hallow 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.

NB For those seeking a more moderate walk there will be an option to omit the second climb of Ragleth and return to Church Stretton along the quiet Ludlow Road from Little Stretton
