Meanwhile, back in Shropshire... After our walk on
Wenlock Edge we had lunch at the Bucks Head in Church Stretton and heading on into the Shropshire Hills to
Carding Mill Valley, just up the hill from the centre of Church Stretton -
here on the map.
We parked at the top car park and, after cooling our feet in the stream, walked on up the valley.
Now this is the sort of countryside you don't get in Suffolk! We went up to the top of the Long Mynd via Motts Road and back via the Lightspout Hollow. This route has quite a steep scramble...
... to get down past the waterfall...
It was, by now, quite a warm day, so we stopped again for some foot-cooling paddling...
... before heading back to the barn. Excellent walking and scenery, and good exercise - the kids slept well that night!
