The Battle Stones, situated on Willstone Hill adorn the ridge between the towns of Church Stretton and Cardington.
Though their name has been documented since 1623, the historical accounts of a battle or skirmish during the Roman invasion remain unverified.
The spot is an excellent viewpoint, capturing The Lawley ridge and the iconic pudding-basin-shaped hill, The Wrekin, on the horizon.

One of the many outcrops of battle stones along the route I took. A nice spot to take a moment and appreciate where you are.

Worth a little detour to this outcrop. It must have been a great vantage point in the days of hill forts.
