The Long Mynd, Church Stretton, Wenlock Edge to Much Wenlock

A long walk, but mainly downhill. Beautiful & with old railway interest on Wenlock Edge around Presthope. Largely following the Jack Mytton way. Reduce the climbing by taking the east option just south of Church Stretton.

Notes

Need a car at each end or use taxis.

Take a packed lunch as there is not much in the way of convenient pubs/cafes.
