Lovely, clean place for kids adventure, small waterfall at the top to reach to. Great place for families to take a picnic along with them and enjoy the scenery, would recommend at least one visit. Plenty of parking spaces, £5.50 cost to get in. Toilet facilities available by cafe area.

Went for a few walks for first time in many years. Still a fantastic area to visit. Lots of schools on this particular day but not a huge problem. I do think charging 5.50gbp for what has always been free parking is a bit over the top. The public toilets were a disgrace so not sure where else money is going.

Beautiful location. Free parking for NT members. Great place for a picnic. If you feel more adventurous then take a 30 minute walk to the waterfalls. Lovely spacious coffee shop. Overall excellent place to unwind.

One of the beautiful place of National Trust. Magnificent scenery across the whole area. Friendly staffs guide you with parking. Parking charges £7.50 also can pay through card. Cafe at the start of your journey also toilets available. Cinematic scenery when walking / tracking / hiking. Quite uneven surface not suitable for buggies. But worth getting at the end when you see the Waterfall around 30 minutes walk depending how fast you are walking can take longer. Walk to reservoir around 10 minutes beautiful rock stairs to go up to reservoir.

Had a lovely walk to the waterfall and round. Beautiful views. The staff member by the map was very helpful and kind to talk to, he suggested the walk as we weren't sure where to start!

Beautiful site with a selection of walks and lots of parking. Free if you are a national trust member and a lovely cafe with a selection of fantastic cakes and meals. Lots of ice cream choice too. The walks to the waterfall and reservoir is very accessible and enjoyable with great views

It can get busy, so go early, we go there at 8 am to do The Long Mynd walk and it was quiet, but when we got back about 10:30 it was really busy with few parking places remaining. Parking is £7.50 for the day, and while I know National Trust do some great work to maintain the paths etc, it’s expensive, especially if you combine your visit with a trip to the restaurant, it’s expensive. However, the walks are stunning! Regardless of the weather, it’s worth a visit, take the detour to Light Spout waterfall It’s just a short walk, in the dry it’s ok, if it’s wet the surface could be slippery.

Have visited a number of time and always a pleasure. Beautiful natural environment, great for walking and family friendly. Parking can be a challenge during busy periods but they do have an overflow car park to help. Highly recommended for a great day outdoors.

I visited today for a nice walk and a swim in the reservoir. I had to wait a short while to enter the car park but that was to be expected as it was a sunny day and lots of visitors. I am a national trust member so I did not have to pay for parking, and there was a member of staff at the parking meter at the entry helping everyone which was appreciated. The reservoir is beautiful, one side in the sun and the other more secluded and shaded. The water was fresh, and easy to access, but I would recommend swim shoes to make it easier to walk on the stones as you enter and exit. Stopped for a coffee at the tea room on the way out, sat on the roof terrace to drink it which was a nice little treat.

Stunning area! This is a National Trust place free for members or £7.50 parking for non members. We walked to the Waterfall then on to the Long Mynd and back on a circular route. As it is national trust the pathways are well marked so easy to follow. The views are stunning. It can get very busy so would recommend and early start. Lovely cafe for when you have finished your walk.

Pictures do not really do justice for this place. It was so much more than I expected. One of the most beautiful places under National Trust. Members park for free. The cafe is well equipped and serves hot & cold snacks as well as lot of bakery items. You could spend the whole day down there, have a picnic etc.

First time here was early summers evening, perfect atmosphere, a few people enjoying the stream with a drink or two. Spot on. Decided to return a week later for an afternoon picnic. Oh dear, multiple coaches, jammed with cars, school trips, etc bah! There are some great walking trails, some of it challenging, some very challenging but all enjoyable. Parking £5.50.

We travelled 4 hours to get there, but it was so worth it. Large parking, decent price. Very nice cafe with amazing food ( a lot for vegans too!). Beautiful, at times breathtaking views. Few trails to choose from, from 20 minutes, to 3 hours. Managed to climb up the waterfall trail and onwards with my dodgy knee and the descent was quite steady and pleasant, with just amazing sights in front. On top of Long Mynd before you know it. Back down just as easily. Who would have thought, Shropshire Hills are so beautiful.

I love this place. Whatever season we visit, it's beautiful. Really busy that Saturday but the NT staff were polite and helpful. Fantastic soup in the cafe to fuel our walk.

It is a great place to visit with an amazing way to bring your friends and family outdoors and enjoy the mountains and hills. It is located just outside Church Stretton in Shropshire and is run by the National Trust, so if you got a membership pass with the national trust, you can use it, and you don't need to pay for parking when you are there.

Great place for all types of walks with different areas to park if you're looking to start higher up without the steep climbs (check the map board). Some amazing views to be had for sure 😁, then a break in the tea room for a cake and drink.

A-MA-ZING hike towards the Lightsprout waterfall. Do keep in mind, 40 minutes one way, first half a little steep and you need to wade through a few creeks. Second half is sometimes nearly a climb. Nice & challenging!

Absolutely amazing! We stayed @sycamoreschristianretreat which is a Manor house on national trust land. There's a brook which runs in front of the house... it's so peaceful. The sound of birdsong is so clear. Whatever time of year I go it's always breathtaking, food for my soul. I highly recommend visiting.

Great afternoon at Carding Mill. Parking is free to National Trust members. Enjoyed lunch at the National Trust tea rooms before taking a hike to the Waterfall. Some parts of this trail can be a little challenging so sturdy footwear recommended. Beautiful views and fresh air good for the soul as is the wildlife here.

Nice place to go out with the family, the pictures don't do it justice. You can walk easily from the centre of Church Stretton or if you are a National Trust member you can park your car in the valley. There is a coffee shop and toilets about half way up the valley and it's a nice but steep walk up to the reservoir. All in all a nice day out for the family that does not cost anything if you like the outdoors and walking.

This valley is a real gem which we have visited a number of times. A short drive or walk from Church Stratton. Large car park free to National Trust members. Nice cafe serving coffee and snacks. We had a cream tea before our recent walk. There are a number of short easy and longer more challenging walks. We walked to the waterfall then up to the top of Long Mynd. Dogs safe off lead but owners need to be considerate and control them especially when sheep are around. Beautiful views.
