    Callow Hill is a hill near the village of Lower Dinchope between Craven Arms and Ludlow in the English county of Shropshire. It has a trig pointed summit and nearby is a square tower known as Flounders' Folly. It dates from 1838, when it was erected by Benjamin Flounders (1768—1846) to mark the boundaries between four large estates and maybe to celebrate his attaining his 70th year, his 'threescore years and ten'. Callow Hill is a UK listed Marilyn.
