Enjoy far-reaching views across the beautiful Shropshire Hills from this footpath that runs alongside Poles Coppice.

The Snailbeach Mines were once the biggest and richest lead mines in the country! Here you can find the remains of the mine, spanned over a number of different buildings. There are guided tours available if you wanted to explore the mines further and learn about their history.

Covering around 23 acres on the lower flanks of Moel y Golfa, this is a small, mature woodland and an enjoyable wander en route to the summit at 403m. One path runs along the bottom of the hill, while another goes straight up to the summit. The views from the top reach to the other Breidden Hills, the Severn Valley and farther still to Cadair Idris, some 60km away.

Standing just outside the town of Welshpool on the Anglo-Welsh border, Breidden Hill is an extinct volcano, rising to 367m. The summit is home to the remains of a British Iron Age hillfort, thought to have been the site of the last stand of Caractacus. At the very top of the hill stands Rodney's Pillar, built by the residents of Montgomeryshire who supplied oak wood from the area and shipped it down the River Severn to Bristol where Admiral Rodney's naval fleet was being built. Today, Rodney's Pillar is used as a navigational aid by helicopter pilots, due to its visibility from many miles around.

Callow Hill has a long history of quarrying but today is a peaceful place to visit on a walk, with the old quarry overgrown and a good site to spot wild orchids in summer. There's an impressive hill fort on the hill above the quarry, which is also well worth a visit.

Managed by Forestry England, Eastridge Wood cloaks a steep-sided hill. There's a good network of walking, horse riding and mountain biking trails, including a section of the 200-mile Shropshire Way long distance footpath.

Said to resemble the shape of a sleeping dragon, the twin peaks of Earl's Hill and Pontesbury Hill have their firey origin in a volcano some 650 million years ago. Glorious views from the summit - an Iron Age hillfort - stretch out to Wales and across the Shropshire Hills.

It’s a steep ole climb up to Earl’s Hill, but the views are well worth it
