Ashes Hollow Walk
This walk explores Ashes Hollow near the villages of Church Stretton and Little Stretton in the Shropshire Hills.
The V shaped valley is home to the Quinny Brook, a tributary stream of the River Onny. It's a lovely place for a walk with waterside footpaths along the pretty brook which is flanked by some beautiful hills and attractive vegetation.
You can start the walk in Little Stretton and head north to pick up the trail along the brook.
The stream continues up to the Long Mynd where you can enjoy some wonderful views from the elevated ridge.

The worthy village of Ratlinghope is located just west of the Pole Bank summit. It's a pretty place located on both the River East Onny and the Darnford Brook. You could explore the village, enjoy a waymarked circular climb to Adstone Hill and then head to The Bridges Pub which is in a lovely riverside spot.

Walkers on a rocky crag above the Quinny Brook. The source is a spring called Boiling Well on the dissected plateau of the Long Mynd, adjacent to a number of Long barrows.
Looking upstream - tributary entering from the right - possible cone to the left - valley is perceptably narrowing. After passing through Little Stretton, the brrok heads south towards Marshbrook and Strefford. To the north of Strefford, it is joined by its main tributary the Byne Brook.
