Train from Shrewsbury to Craven Arms then walk through rolling farm land to Plowden from where you can ascend the Long Mynd using ancient tracks (The Port Way) and a metalled road.
In the winter this can feel quite remote but on a nice summers day it is very popular with walkers, cyclists, horse-riders, gliders and people just out for a drive.
Eventually drop down into the Rattlinghope valley and Bridges where you can overnight in the Youth Hostel or the excellent Horseshoe Inn (formerly Bridges).
