| This is a very enjoyable ride however the climb up Carding Mill Valley is extremeley tough and some other climbs are tough but doable. The down hills are your reward, it is not technically demanding but allow 4 hours plus for the ride. Set out from the Co-Op car park safe car parking for £3.00 all day and has good public toilets wher you can get changed. | |||||

| Start/Finish: Church Stretton OS453938 Total distance: 22.2km Time: 3-7 hours Maps: Ordnance Survey OL217: The Long Mynd & Wenlock Edge 1:25,000 Route summary: Some severe ascents are matched by equally brilliant descents. If you’re left wanting more, head up through Prior’s Holt for a final fling over Minton Hill. Start at the crossroads in the centre of Church Stretton. Head north following signs for Carding Mill Valley and turn left towards the NT car park, then turn right following signs to the golf course. The road hairpins right before climbing steeply through the houses. At the junction bear left to the golf course and go through the small slatted gate to the right of the clubhouse. Follow the scrap of singletrack under the trees to the next path junction, then follow the bridleway as it turns left and begins the monstrously steep climb between the greens. Once you top out and have taken your fill of the view, follow the track keeping a careful eye out for marker posts that cross the green to the unsigned bridleway descending from the right. Drop steeply down the right-hand side of the valley, turning left after the gate to follow the river upstream. Pass the bottom of the Batch but continue along the river to meet the bottom of the obvious track that’s coming down to join you. Hairpin right and start to climb, proceeding past the top of the Batch to the road. Turn left as the climb slackens and then left again to follow the bridleway to the Port Way. Shortly before Pole Bank trig point, take the bridleway to the right and descend all the way to Medlicott Cottage. Rejoin the road to Manor Farm, where you turn left and follow the road for 2km, passing the turning to Wentnor and then taking the next bridleway left. Climb very steeply up the escarpment to top out opposite Minton Batch, marked with a fingerpost. Follow this bridleway to its obvious conclusion, a descent of 4km, then turn left along the road to return to Church Stretton via Minton and Little Stretton. | |||||

| Start/Finish: Carding Mill SO445944 Total distance: 20km Time: 3-5 hours Maps: Ordnance Survey OL217 The Long Mynd & Wenlock Edge 1:25,000 Summary: This route crams a day’s riding into minimal distance, with everything from brutal climbs to technical descending and great views. From Carding Mill Valley NT car park, take the obvious track that heads straight into the valley to tackle a long, steep climb to the top of Long Mynd. At the junction on the ridge, bear right to descend over the fl ank of the hill before joining up with the road. Turn right and then right again at Jinlye to pick up the Batch, which bears left off the less steep track as you approach the edge of the valley. At the bottom, bear left and follow this track to the end, turning right on the B5477. Turn left at the crossroads on the High Street and go straight over the A49, taking the second minor right to ascend parallel with the B road you’ve just left. Go straight across when you meet it again, picking up a bridleway that emerges on open heathland, where you need to turn right. Follow this singletrack to a crossroads and take the very steep right-hand track up the side of Hope Bowdler Hill. At the top, bear right onto the singletrack and descend down to the road. Turn right on tarmac, then take the second left, turn right and right again, then pick up the bridleway that runs down the side of the garden to your left. Follow your nose back to Church Stretton, crossing a stream to go through the gate just beyond and emerge in a residential street. | |||||

| Start/Finish: Minton village, SO432477 Total distance: 20km Time: 1-2.5 hours Maps: Ordnance Survey OL217 The Long Mynd & Wenlock Edge 1:25,000 Summary: It’s short but sweet and doesn’t scrimp on the fun: there might only be one up and one down, but they’re both top notch so don’t fret. Start in Church Stretton if you fancy a road spin, otherwise begin in Minton village. Pick up the singletrack road beside the phone box and head south-west to Hamperley. In Hamperley turn right at the crossroads of three roads and one track. Follow this road through to Churchmoor Farm and then through Prior’s Holt to Nut Batch, where you enter the edge of the forest. Climb steadily through the trees. The forest roads here wind gently up the contours but do alter slightly from what’s printed on the map, so take your time with navigation. As you exit at the top, go straight on to join the permissive path that skirts the landing strip — and not the bridleway that crosses it. Pass behind the gliding club’s buildings, cross the cattle grid and look to your right for the fingerpost marking the top of Minton Batch. Follow this bridleway as it leaves the grassy area and dives down through several boggy sections to become fast, smooth singletrack. This is the Minton Batch descent and it drops down the valley more or less following the river. Keep straight as you exit the singletrack onto a farm track. Once you hit the road at the end turn left to return to Minton, and then on to Church Stretton if that’s where you began. | |||||
