On June 27, Camilla drove me and her neighbor Julia to Little Stretton in the Shropshire Hills (west of Birmingham) where we met up with five of Camilla’s friends for a hiking holiday. While most of the ladies wanted a private room, Camilla and I shared a room at the Mynd House B&B. We were both crazy enough to wake up in the middle of the night to watch that fateful presidential debate between Biden and Trump.
Little Stetton was indeed little, but it was also quite charming.
That first night we walked to the nearby Ragleth Inn for a pub dinner.
After breakfast the next morning, we set off for our hike from Little Stretton to Ragleth Hill for a circular hike.
We weren’t very far in before we hit quite a steep hill, which a bunch of students were scurrying up while I huffed and puffed.
The climb was worth it for the views.
Luckily the rest of the climbs were gentle despite going down to Church Stretton, where we stopped for a drink, before going back up into the hills. Just loved how this postal box was decorated by knitters.
Nice that the sheep didn’t seem to mind moving off of our path.
We brought packed lunches along from the B&B.
Not too shabby of a view from our lunch stop!
