Long Mynd MTB map
The trails can be accessed from several start points: the centre of Church
Stretton, Carding Mill Valley or the Shropshire hills MTB centre, where you will find
shops and cafes for any trail supplies. Please avoid parking in passing places on
country lanes or in the entrances to farmers fields.
Route information
Because of the variety of the Long Mynd and the surrounding area, you are faced with plenty of riding choices, and we have highlighted some of the best trails that can be mixed and matched to create a route to suit your needs.
All trails are either legal rights of way or permissive routes, and you can travel in any direction you like.
