If that wasn’t enough, the area is home to some of the most amazing walks and views in the UK. Below are some of the most unmissable ones.
Caer Caradoc
It can be hard to choose which of the Shropshire Hills to visit. However, Caer Caradoc is one that stands out for its iconic shape and volcanic rock landscape. There is also an Iron Age fort at the summit. It is a great walk through the forest and up the hill.
Long Mynd
This is probably the most popular spot in the whole of Shropshire for walking. The ridge is seven miles long and there are some wonderful sights of steep valleys cut into the side. Ashes Hollow is a favourite walk here. It takes you through a valley and across heathland full of wildlife.
