The Lawley

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

This is one of the prettiest runs in the area, from which ever direction you tackle it. It’s very steep if you run it from the south, whereas it’s more of a slow burner from the north (while still being very steep in parts).

Caer Caradoc

Highlight • Climb

Caer Caradoc might not be the tallest of the Shropshire Hills but what it lacks in height, it certainly makes up for in character. The iconic hill has a very distinctive shape with jagged volcanic crags erupting from its steep sides. After a challenging climb to the 1,506-foot (459 m) summit, you're rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views over Long Mynd, The Lawley and Church Stretton; a view that stretches for miles over the Shropshire countryside.
