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.
According to the BBC, ponies have grazed on the Long Mynd at Church Stretton, Shropshire, for centuries. Another source in a recent daily newspaper said they were related to Welsh pit ponies. Wikipedia says there is evidence of organised management of the Long Mynd as a grazed common as long ago as the 13th century.
The Long Mynd Commoners’ ponies and sheep grazed here are hardy animals and are well adapted to the harsh conditions of life on the hill. They graze selectively and very close to the ground, leaving patches of long vegetation which benefits insects and small mammals. The Commoners are local farmers who have held grazing rights for perhaps many generations.
A small spring stream trickles by, heading slowly downhill. The distant sound of a picnic, bees, people in the far valley below. But most of all, nature warming up.
The Long Mynd is at the heart of the Shropshire Hills, rises to over 1,600 feet, and is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. A narrow lane which has the most beautiful views runs over the Long Mynd and around the edge of it. This farm track off the lane leads to the tiny hamlet of Myndtown.

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.
6233 "Duchess of Sutherland" works away from Craven Arms and passes Stokesay Castle, with Vintage trains "Welsh Marches Express" on 13 November 2021. I understand that the train had been stopped at Craven Arms for over 2 hours because of a fatality near Ludlow.

Long Mynd milky way
Magical night at the bog pools by Pole Cottage. I tried this image 2 years ago, but was never satisfied with it. The weather forecast had come together...clear skies and calm windless night to get those star reflections.

Vatn, tré, fjöll, ský, himinn og tungl. Hvað þarf meira á eina mynd ha? Gleðileg ár og höldum áfram að taka myndir...
I know I've uploaded lots of photos of this view, but it does vary in different weather conditions. This is the Long Mynd, Shropshire, England, part of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
This is the view looking back toward the town of Church Stretton while ascending Long Mynd in Shropshire.
Back to Shropshire with this photo. The top of Long Mynd is a comparatively uninteresting moorland plateau but there are nice views to the valleys below. More interesting is the geology underfoot. This part of the Shropshire Hills dates to the Precambrian and is some of the oldest rock in the UK or Europe.
I had a difficult time getting processing this shot from the single exposure I shot. I had to burn in the sky and dodge the foreground but I think the final result works.
