Brief description

"Carding Mill Valley is the main valley for the Long Mynd. In this valley there is car parking and visitor facilities. The road runs through the valley to the top car park. As this is a valley there are steep slopes, uneven paths, steps and bridges. The stream runs the full length of the valley. In the valley way-marked walks start including an adventure trail.

Livestock – sheep and ponies graze across the hill. Dogs need to be kept under close control and in sight. There are also areas with ground nesting birds on top of the hill. In these areas dogs must stick to the paths. All dogs are welcome, including Assistance Dogs.

Across the wider hill there is a network of roads and paths, it is wild open countryside, so there are steep slopes, narrow and uneven paths. There are small car parks and pull-ins on the top of the hill. The path from Pole Cottage to Pole Bank is suitable for pushchairs, wheelchairs and mobility scooters.

NB - Mobile phone reception is not very good across the site. In an emergency, please make contact on the phone number above as soon as you are able to or call the emergency services directly."
