Overview

Following the cancellation of this walk due to heavy snow fall last November, I am pleased to once again offer this classic route to the top of the Long Mynd. We will ascend Carding Mill Valley and branch off to tackle Lightspout Waterfall on the way to Shooting Box and the Port Way. Pole Bank summit should offer superb views in all directions (weather permitting) and further delightful views may be enjoyed on the descent via Little Stretton.

Please message walk leader to book your place and indicate whether you will  going to the meeting point (Meole Brace P&R) or direct to the start.
