The Long Mynd is a 13k walk or a 15 minute scenic drive from the cabin. You can see most of the Long Mynd from the Nipstone Rocky Tor just a 5 minute walk from the cabin. The Fell Ponies are wonderful. Take a walk across the wildlife-rich heathland and enjoy the views across the Shropshire Hills, or simply play in the stream in the valley.
There are walks available for all abilities and of different lengths, so you can choose to go on a short walk up to the reservoir or a much longer walk to the highest point on the hill and back. Whichever you choose, you are guaranteed some good scenery.
Nearby Church Stretton is a designated 'Walkers are Welcome' town. This guarantees great walking, spectacular scenery and warm welcomes wherever you go in the town and the surrounding countryside.
Cycling is also allowed. Swimming in the reservoir at Carding Mill Valley is a popular activity, but it is important to be aware of the risks involved before you get into the water. The reservoir is deep in places and the water is cold, even on warm, sunny days.
Before you visit, make sure you have the knowledge, skills and equipment you need to stay safe when you’re in the water.
There is a National Trust Tea Room in Carding Mill Valley, which is fantastic. Great Deli and cafes, good places to eat in Church Stretton too.
