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

Eastrige Wood Parking, good sport for hikers and bikers, quiet and save place

Built in 1781, this pillar commemorates Sir George Brydges Rodney’s naval victories. Today it’s starting to crumble so is currently cordoned off, but the views from up here are awesome. On clear days, you can see right across Shropshire, over to the Berwyns, Snowdonia, and right across the Shropshire Hills.

Wonderfull Mountain View

Wild place nice one

Good for weekend trip

Moel y Golfa is a small mature wood in the Breidden Hills, some 5km northeast of Welshpool. Buses run to Middletown from where it is possible to walk straight up into the wood. There is a path along the bottom of the hill and another which goes straight up the tightly packed contours to the summit of Moel y Golfa at 403m. The impressive monument that stands on the central hump atop the summit of Moel y Golfa is apparently dedicated to two gypsy kings. You can see across the Severn Valley all the way to Cadair Idris 60 km away. It is a UK listed Marilyn.

This is a good ride, quite a bit of climbing. The lanes are quiet, but a bit tight if you meet vehicles. Some muddy bits in Eastridge woods. Best suited to mountain bikes. If you like raw countryside and the views this is ideal. A couple of little pubs on the route but these were closed when we did the ride

Gorgeous on a still day exhilarating when it's windy!
