Walk through the medieval village of Kinson, although in 1255 it was recorded as Ekinestaneston. Place-names ending in tun or ton are thought to point to a settlement, village, a collection of dwellings. The whole area was widely populated at that time, as there are said to have been medieval villages at Newton, Stanton, Bockleton and Downton. You are now in the parish of Stoke St Milborough and if you would like to read more, the British History Online site holds a wealth of information.

First enshrined in law in the Magna Carta in 1215, Common Land traditionally sustained the poorest people in rural communities who owned no land of their own, providing them with a source of wood, bracken for bedding and pasture for livestock. Over one-third of England’s moorland is common land. Common Land now accounts for just 3% of England, but this includes large tracts of our most well-loved and ecologically rich landscapes including where you are standing in the Shropshire Hills but also in the Yorkshire Dales, on Dartmoor and in the Lake District. Common Land is privately owned land with ‘Rights of Common’ over that land, most commonly to graze animals. Visitors have a right roam the commons while recognising and respecting the wildlife, landowners and farmers who work tirelessly to maintain it. This includes making sure all visiting dogs have their owner with them and are under close control. Our nesting birds, sheep, lambs and other stock will thank you for it. There are 86 pieces of registered common land in the county of Shropshire. Many of these and certainly the largest ‘working’ commons, can be found within the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Clee Liberty, known for its Iron Age Hill Fort and extensive industrial quarrying activity is part of Shropshire’s highest hill, the Brown Clee. This common is owned by the Parish Council of Clee St Margaret. Local residents enjoy common rights on the hill, several commoners turn out sheep and one also grazes a small herd of ponies. For this walk, we access the common from ‘the Yeld’ where there is parking for a small number of cars. To start the walk, go through the gate onto the common and follow the track straight ahead.

With 200 metres of elevation gain, the Burf is one of the toughest climbs in the area. It's a bit of a beast, but the views and sense of satisfaction at the top are pretty great.

The Burwarton Estate between Ludlow and Bridgnorth covers 11,000 acres of Shropshire countryside near to Brown Clee Hill which, at 540m, is the highest point in the county. The gravel estate track is a great vantage point from which to admire the views.
