The Long Mynd is a heath and moorland plateau that forms part of the Shropshire Hills in Shropshire, England. The high ground, which is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, lies between the Stiperstones range to the west and the Stretton Hills and Wenlock Edge to the east. Much of it is owned and managed by the National Trust.
The Long Mynd, which is approximately 7 miles (11 km) long by a maximum of 3 miles (4.8 km) wide, has steep valleys on its eastern flanks while its western side is marked by a slope that rises in a steep escarpment from the wide valley of the River East Onny. It is surrounded by the principal settlements of Church Stretton, Little Stretton and All Stretton, Pulverbatch, Smethcott, Woolstaston, Asterton, Myndtown, Wentnor and Ratlinghope.
The highest point on the Long Mynd is Pole Bank (516 m (1,693 ft)) This and the adjacent hill of Caer Caradoc (459 m (1,506 ft)) are classed as Marilyns.
@tramway This flashback was from one of my holidays in Shropshire during late October-hence the colour of the heath land. Shropshire has some very beautiful scenery and The Long Mynd area is sparsely populated.
Beautiful image. I just love the colours and the people add a great sense of scale.
