Walking poles will help on descent

The Signpost detailing the history of the Wrekin as a hill-fort and a useful map of the pathways and the permissive paths for this private woodland. Cycling is not allowed without prior agreement, but there are plenty routes in and round that cyclists can enjoy.

There is a little stream at the other side of the road, which is amazing to wash your dog off before they get back in the car!!

Amazing views from up here, just wow!!

Rising to 407 metres, The Wrekin is a prominent landmark, its visibility from the M54 signalling the entrance to Shropshire. Unlike some of the local hills, The Wrekin was never a volcano in its own right, despite its conical shape, but is composed of various igneous rocks and volcanic processes. The ridgeline either side of The Wrekin makes for some great running, with fabulous views in every direction.

When I was at University in Brum in my first year I stayed with a lovely couple in Ward End. They used the local expression "all round the Wrekin". It was used to describe someone explaining something in a convoluted or complex way. Since then, I have had a fascination with the place and wanted to visit. Anyway, that was in the early 1970s - I finally got there in 2021 - better late than never!

There's a small bit of remains and a road but a nice walk

Nice walk but the WW2 link is a bit tenuous
