We had driven up the precipitous Bur Way from Church Stretton to reach the top of the Long Mynd in the Shropshire Hills, and reached a small car park where we stopped. Several sheep and their lambs were wandering around, and they were obviously used to visitors and the snacks that some brought with them. I couldn't resist taking a shot of this family group, with the mother keeping a close eye on me.
Today we hiked the Carding Mynd Valley Long Mynd circular walk. after a 3 hour hike we were treated to this.

This valley is on the eastern side of the Long Mynd - a heath and moorland plateau that forms part of the Shropshire Hills - and leads down to Church Stretton, which is seen in the distance. This is in the heart of the Shopshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is roughly half-way between Ludlow (to the south) and Shrewsbury (to the north). The highest point of the Long Mynd is around 1,700 feet above sea level.
It reached a staggering 32 degrees during our Long mynd walk last Tuesday. Starting out from the shooting box car park things didn't seem so bad..... we dropped down to Bridges and Ratlinghope and then the mid day sun got serious and the climb back up to the Portway via Darnford brook was scorchio.
This is in the middle of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and was taken from the country lane that runs alongside the western edge of the Long Mynd.

This image is of a river called Laxá and it is one of the most expensive fishing rivers in Iceland. People are paying up to ca. 5000$ per day to fish there! But despite the huge pricetag this is a beautiful river and great landscape around it.

The Long Mynd is a heath and moorland plateau that forms part of the Shropshire Hills in Shropshire, England. The high ground, which is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, lies between the Stiperstones range to the west and the Stretton Hills and Wenlock Edge to the east. Much of it is owned and managed by the National Trust.
