Heath Mynd 452m, Lydham, Shropshire (Marilyn).
Summary
I couldn’t find a close parking point to Heath Mynd so I parked in the village hall car park in Lydham where I knew there was plenty of room. I made the route up as I went along so I walked up the A488 and turned right onto a back road and carried on until I hit a Y junction. I went left and then immediately right through a gate onto a public right of way (see gpx track). Here there was a rough track that headed up towards a wind turbine (my aiming point). This was easy enough and here just beyond the turbine was a path that took me onto and up the hill and then took another wide path that then heads directly up the spine of Heath Mynd. I branched off left a bit early and went across easy heather all the way to the trig pointed summit. Not the nicest of walks but the views were okay but it was a claggy day. From here I simply retraced my steps to the start point.
