Attaining the 932-foot (284 m) summit of Hopesay Hill requires a steep climb out of Hopesay village. It's more than worth the thigh-burn though, because the views over Shropshire's hilly landscape are majestic.

The hill is largely open common, exposed to wind and rain so dress accordingly if the weather looks inclement.

Even on a cloudy rainy day the views are amazing. Must be so much better on a sunny one!
