Go up the lane past the steep access-path, go past a spring which crosses the stoney lane, arrive at a gate that gives easier access to the summit !! (Only discovered after having hauled my 78years up the previous path!!) Definitely going again! Offa*s Dyke path clearly visible over Long Mountain !! Peter P. from N/C u Lyme.

During a time of famine, a fairy gave a magic cow that provided an endless supply of milk. One night an evil witch milked her into a sieve. When the cow realised the trick, she disappeared. The witch was turned to stone and a circle of stones was erected around her, to ensure that she could not escape.

A brilliant example of a multivallate Iron Age Fort, one of many forts along the Wales and England border. There are fine ramparts here but today in July, mid summer it is rather overgrown and it is difficult to see the grandness of it all. As Dan says, nobody seems to pay attention to here too, it not maintained, no information boards or signage. A pity as it is an easy walk and has fine views.

The 18th-century MP, Robert More, had a line of beech trees planted along the ridge of Linley Hill and these majestic trees stand tall today. The Stiperstones, the Long Mynd and Corndon Hill can all be seen from here as it lies in the midst of the Shropshire Hills AONB. The Linley Beeches line the southern slope of the hill and lead all the way to Linley Hall, More's family home. The trees are notable no matter what time of year you hike the hill. In winter their skeletal presence adds to the chilly atmosphere and in summer they fill the sky with greenery.

Sunny Hill is the site of Bury Ditches, an Iron Age hillfort dating back to around 500 BC. The fort is exceptionally well-preserved and has impressive defensive earthworks. Once covered in trees, planted by the Forestry Commission, a series of storms led to them being removed and today, the views are fantastic.

A great little hike to do. Lovely trig pointed/cairned summit and a great viewpoint out over the surrounding area to boot.

Make sure open the flap in the board walking down (Kempton-side). There used to be a village on top of this hill! Beautiful views in every direction here!

There’s a bench at the top alongside the trig and cairn.
