The Long Mynd in Shropshire

Long Mynd The Long Mynd is a long hill ridge in Shropshire, amongst the Shropshire Hills, ten miles south of the county town, Shrewsbury. The form of the hill is a grand example of the ridge formations found in western Shropshire, seven miles long and a maximum of three miles wide but mostly far narrower. Its scarp slope is on the east and drops steeply to the line of the Church Stretton Fault, with Church Stretton at the foot of the escarpment. Most of the heathland of the hill is owned by the National Trust. (Read more)
