    Hiking

    A 'little mountain' in Shropshire, it dominates the surrounding countryside. The shortest walk to the summit from the forest glen car park is very well marked.

It's also the site of an Iron Age hill fort. There's a common local saying 'round the Wrekin' meaning to take the long way round... something I quite like doing when out walking.
