Abdon Burf is the highest of two summits on Shropshire’s Brown Clee Hill. At 1,770 feet (540 m), it’s also the highest point in the county and is an outstanding viewpoint with far-reaching vistas across a blanket of patchwork fields. The hill lies between the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow and is part of a vast network of trails, allowing you to add its summits into as long or as short an adventure as you’re up for.
