    Tips

    December 7, 2018

    Caer Caradoc might not be the tallest of the Shropshire Hills but what it lacks in height, it certainly makes up for in character. The iconic hill has a very distinctive shape with jagged volcanic crags erupting from its steep sides. After a challenging climb to the 1,506-foot (459 m) summit, you're rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views over Long Mynd, The Lawley and Church Stretton; a view that stretches for miles over the Shropshire countryside.
