August 22, 2025, 664 Pole Bank and Devil’s Mouth (Shrops)☑️

This was an absolutely fantastic walk, the views all around were amazing! The walk back down over Devil's Mouth was hard going due to it being so steep. We debriefed at the Ragleth Inn, Little Stretton🍻 We are staying overnight at the Yew Tree, All Stretton - the room and the food are amazing! 🥰
