Summer means indulging in a lot of activities and being outdoors for most of the day. The bright and cheery summer months are the best if you are into hiking and adventures. This article covers 5 easy walking routes for you to explore this summer.

Carding Mill Valley

But if you ever were to visit the valley, there are various routes that you can walk through depending on how easy or tough you want the walk to be. E.g., you can go up a short walk to the waterfall or a long 5-mile walk to the top of the Long Mynd.
