The Wrekin 406.9m P310 (1335ft) [List Objective: English Marilyns] (DoBIH Hill ID: 2843) [JNSA 9636] Shropshire National Landscape Definitive List summit.

cool views from the top

Great 360-degree view of the surrounding area, including the Wrekin and the Long Mynd

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!

Stunning view and west part of Hills

The last few metres are hike-a-bike, but it's well worth the climb up to this monument erected by a local lord in memory of his father in the early 19th century. The monument itself is monolithic rather than pretty, but the 360-degree panorama is stunning - on a clear day you can see The Wrekin, The Long Mynd, and over the border into Wales.
