Lingen Davies X Ray of Sun Adventures: Walk for Wellbeing: The Long Mynd

at CARLingen Davies X Ray of Sun Adventures: Walk for Wellbeing: The Long Mynd
10:00 - 14:00 13th May 2026
More Information🌿 Walk for Wellbeing: Long Mynd & Lightspout Waterfall
Join us for a refreshing guided hike across one of the most spectacular landscapes in the Shropshire Hills — where sweeping hilltop views, hidden valleys, and cascading waterfalls create a truly unforgettable outdoor experience.This walk is part of the Walk for Wellbeing programme, delivered in collaboration with Lingen Davies Cancer Support. It is specifically designed for people living with cancer, those currently in treatment, individuals in recovery, and cancer survivors across Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, and Mid Wales — and is completely FREE.
The aim of these walks is to create a safe and welcoming space where participants can enjoy movement, fresh air, and the restorative benefits of nature alongside others who understand the cancer journey.
Starting from the beautiful Carding Mill Valley, we’ll follow scenic valley trails before climbing into the dramatic landscape of the Long Mynd. Along the way we’ll explore hidden waterfalls, peaceful upland valleys, and one of the highest viewpoints in the Shropshire Hills — all while walking at a supportive group pace.
This is more than just a hike. It’s a chance to reconnect with nature, build confidence outdoors, and spend time with people who share similar experiences — with no pressure to share, just a shared understanding.
🌄 What to Expect
Our walk begins in the picturesque Carding Mill Valley, where a stony track follows the gentle stream flowing through the valley — a calm and scenic start to the day.From here we venture into Lightspout Hollow, a dramatic narrow valley that leads to the beautiful Lightspout Waterfall. Those feeling adventurous can scramble alongside the waterfall for a fun and memorable challenge, while others can follow the main path for a steadier ascent.
As we climb higher onto the Long Mynd plateau, we’ll make our way to Pole Bank, the highest point of the Long Mynd at 517 metres. From here you’ll enjoy expansive views across the Shropshire Hills and toward the valleys of Wales on clear days.
We’ll then descend via The Burway, one of the most iconic hill routes in the area, offering sweeping panoramic views as we return toward Carding Mill Valley.
The walk will be supportive and steady-paced, with plenty of pauses to take in the scenery and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
☕ Optional Coffee Shop & Social
After the hike, you’re warmly invited to join us for an optional drink or lunch at the National Trust Cafe in Cardingmill Valley. There’s absolutely no pressure to stay, but many people enjoy the chance to relax, warm up, and continue chatting after the walk.🌟 Why Join?
This isn’t just a walk — it’s an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors in a welcoming and supportive environment.⛰️ Explore the dramatic landscapes of the Long Mynd
