Snow Gates

Snow gates have been put in place on all the roads leading on to the hill. These will be shut if the roads have too much snow on them or its too icy.

Snowy Carding Mill!

Carding Mill Valley was treated to a flurry of snow this morning, making everyone feel very wintery! Who's hoping for a white Christmas?

Winter 2010 Snow

With the cold snap that has spread across the country in the past week, Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd like many other places have been coated in snow and ice.
Although it looks stunning and makes for good photos it makes work more difficult.
The flock of hebredian sheep need to be fed every day as the grass is frozen and covered by snow.
Driving is dangerous, especially on small roads. The Burway road and other routes up onto the top of the Long Mynd have been closed due to snow and ice.
