Really good path. There is another one closer to the stream but it isn’t in good shape. Great for running too.

Said to resemble the shape of a sleeping dragon, the twin peaks of Earl's Hill and Pontesbury Hill have their firey origin in a volcano some 650 million years ago. Glorious views from the summit - an Iron Age hillfort - stretch out to Wales and across the Shropshire Hills.

Haughmond Hill has got nothing in terms of height nor drama compared to the Shropshire Hills to the south; instead, it has its own quiet majesty. This low-lying hill has several lovely walking trails criss-crossing across its wooded rise and is a lovely place to visit throughout the year. Lying just to the north east of Shrewsbury, Haughmond Hill offers excellent views of the surroundings.

Wilderley Hill reaches 1,361 feet (415 m) at the summit and, near to the top, stands the Cothercott Stone. Dated 1791, this stone is a boundary marker between two manors; Cothercott and Wilderley. Rambling about Wilderley Hill offers outstanding views of the Shropshire Hills, especially if it's a fine day. The Stiperstones and the neighbouring Long Mynd are both easy to see.
