    Tips

    February 3, 2021

    The Needles Eye is a feature on a large rocky outcrop atop the Wrekin. A gap in the rocks allows you to squeeze through although great care should be taken as it is on the edge of the hill.

    There are many myths and sayings about the Wrekin and it's a true local icon. One such saying suggests that you can't be a true Salopian (someone from Shropshire), until you've walked through the Needle's Eye.
