Shepherding on the Long Mynd in Shropshire

We are keen to hear from anyone shepherding on the hills and mountains of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, particulerly photographs and videos of the gathers that take place.

Here is a very interesting article by Auston Bennett talking to some of the farmers who shepherd the Long Mynd in Shropshire, with some great photos in the gallery.
