Richly illustrated throughout and with specially commissioned
artwork, this guidebook will briefly relate the history of the
place before expounding the year-round delights of Carding Mill
Valley and the Long Mynd, the wildlife hotspots, where you can dip
your feet, stretch your legs, expand your lungs and refresh your
soul. Covering as much as 2,000 hectares (4,942 acres) of
heather-covered hills with stunning views of the Shropshire Hills
Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Long Mynd is an important
place for wildlife, geology and archaeology. Carding Mill Valley
once drew Victorian day-trippers looking for 'Little Switzerland' -
complete with 'England's Little Niagara' - and it's still drawing
the crowds today. Managed by the National Trust since 1965, when
the land was overgrazed and degraded, Carding Mill Valley and the
Long Mynd have seen a return to healthy heathland. Species that
were in decline now abound, and this guidebook will show you where
and when to find them. Richly illustrated throughout and with
specially commissioned artwork, this guidebook will briefly relate
the history of the place before expounding the year-round delights
of Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd, the wildlife hotspots,
where you can dip your feet, stretch your legs, expand your lungs
and refresh your soul.
