Rising to 629 feet (192 m), Grinshill Hill sits immediately north of Grinshill village. Formed of Triassic sandstone, considerable quarrying has taken place here and many buildings have been constructed out of it. In fact, the door surround at Number 10 Downing Street is made from Grinshill sandstone.

For walkers, the viewpoint on the hill offers fantastic views of the low-lying north Shropshire countryside and is well worth the hike up.
