The Long Mynd is legendary among Shropshire riders — and at night, it takes on a whole new kind of beauty. Join us for a guided night ride with a fully qualified MTB Night Leader and discover the quiet side of this iconic landscape. With the Shropshire Hills designated as a Dark Sky Reserve, the stars will be your backdrop as we climb onto the ridge and follow some local favourites in the glow of torchlight.
Expect a mix of climbs, rewarding descents, and wide-open views (if the skies are clear!) — it’s an unforgettable way to experience this special place.
Perfect For: Confident riders looking for adventure and a bit of challenge. You’ll need reasonable fitness and some MTB experience or enthusiasm to give it a go — the reward is a ride that feels like pure magic.
