๐ก Earth, Mynd & Shire
Earth, Mynd and Shire offers a variety of walking routes, which range in distance from 8.5 miles to 26 miles. But donโt let the distance fool you! All routes are challenging and offer significant levels of ascent. The landscape of Long Mynd - which is where the routes will take you through - changes as you walk. On higher ground and on a clear day, you will be able to cast your eye over Welsh mountains and valleys.ย By contrast, the steep slopes of Carding Mill Valley will give you dramatic scenery, as well as the chance to explore waterfalls and rocky outcrops.ย Every route will take you along Pole Bank, which - at 516 meters - is Long Myndโs highest point. Our lovely Tina took on the 26 mile challenge with workmates, with 5,377 feet of elevation ๐ฎ๐ฎ! Well done Tina ๐๐๐:
