Overview
- The Long Mynd is predominantly open moor, which means you will need a little bit of navigational skill and an idea of where you are heading to find your way. The payoff comes with the natural singletrack that you will often have mostly to yourself. The riding on Long Mynd is all about the trails down the many gullies, the most famous of which is the singletrack of Minton Batch.
Start Points
- One of the big advantages of the Long Mynd is that it can be accessed from different locations around the hill. Church Stretton and Carding Mill Valley are considered some of the best starting points. People also start from Hope Bowdler, Little Stretton, and The Bridges at Ratlinghope, which gives access to Eastridge Wood, the Stiperstones, and the Long Mynd.
