Name: The Long Mynd Hike & Optional Pub Lunch
Start: 2025-11-15T09:00:00Z
End: 2025-11-15T14:00:00Z
Location: Cardingmill Valley

We’ll be setting off from the storybook-worthy **Carding Mill Valley**, wandering beside babbling streams before turning the page into the rugged heart of the Long Mynd. Cue **Lightspout Hollow**, where a tucked-away waterfall adds the kind of suspense only nature can pull off. From there, we’ll stride to **Pole Bank**, the highest chapter of the day at 517m, where sweeping views of Shropshire and Wales give us the perfect cliffhanger.

The finale? A descent down the iconic **Burway**, with panoramas that’ll make you want to dog-ear the memory forever. And if you fancy, we’ll add an epilogue with a cosy pub lunch or drink afterwards.
