Caer Caradoc Hill 459.5m P273.3 (1507ft) [List Objective: English Humps] (DoBIH Hill ID: 2841) [JNSA 8325] Shropshire National Landscape Definitive List summit.

Devil's Chair 529.2m P9.7 Shropshire National Landscape Definitive List summit.

Sturdy footwear recommended, we completed a 4 mile hike, with a couple of steep rock steps to walk up along the way. Other than the steps, the majority of paths are easily accessible. Can get busy when the weather is very good and if you’re lucky, you may get a treat and see the wild horses.

Be willing to climb to the trig point as it’s placed on top of the summit rock.

Great views in every direction.

Beautiful valley but very busy!

The Devil's Chair is a prominent rock formation located on the Stiperstones ridge in the Shropshire Hills. The ridge is part of the Stiperstones National Nature Reserve and is known for its jagged quartzite rocks, of which the Devil's Chair is the most famous. It stands at around 536 meters and offers sweeping views of the surrounding countryside, including the Welsh borderlands and the Shropshire plains.

Carding Mill Valley is a stunning valley that runs north-west out of the charming village of Church Stretton. It is the gateway to a plethora of gentle walks, hikes, and bike rides that are available in the Long Mynd area. The Ashbrooke River runs through the centre of this stunning valley, and located in its upper reaches is Lightspout Waterfall. The valley is bordered by the steep but moderate hills of Bodbury Hill and Haddon Hill to the north and Burway Hill and Cow Ridge to the south. There is a National Trust car park, information centre, and cafe at the start of the valley, but get there early, especially on summer weekends and bank holidays, as this is a very popular area.

Super nice series of rocks that make for a good scrambling play area, or a rest stop. A very nice place with good views on a sky blue day.

Pleasant enough waterfall, but tends to be busy with visitors.

Route up to the waterfall is being made increasingly idiot proof ("accessible") by National Trust footpath "improvers". Flow over the waterfall is becoming insignificant due to reduced rainfall in recent times. At the height of last summer (2022) it was a mere trickle and already by Feb this year it's barely more!

Great little scramble up onto the Mynd.

Proper little mini shark fin ridge this is. The trig point is in a glorious setting sat right on top of a rocky little pinnacle that is nice little scramble. The whole ridge is interesting with its little rocky fins strutting out into the sky. It is also a UK designated Marilyn at 536m high. Lovely summer day out!

Winter time ;) !

winter time :) !

Dont forget to climb to the trig point to truly bag this peak and get a great view.

Far west of the Shropshire hills and probably the quieter of the bunch, ensure to climb to the trig point to officially bag this peak. 🏔

It’s a steep climb up from either side, but the views are more than worth it.

Beautiful rest spot on the way up to Pole Bank. The walking in the Carding valley up to here is simply beautiful. As Tom (above) has pointed out though it is a very busy and popular spot with lots of school groups.

Great views and lovely walking country.
