Mynd House Monster ChallengeThe Monster Challenge walk is deliberately designed to be quite punishing. It also takes in some of the most spectacular scenery in the Shropshire Hills. It is possible to do in a day with a significant feeling of achievement at the end. These hills may look friendly, but they can be anything but in poor weather. Take waterproofs, plenty of food and water and wear a good pair of boots. Can you rise to the challenge of the Mynd House Monster?
WalkingThere are numerous walks accessed directly from our door and leading up onto the the Long Mynd or over the other Stretton Hills. An excellent selection of maps, routes and guides are available for guests to borrow. Packed Lunches and Flask Top-Up service is also provided. Guided walks can be arranged.
