Caer Caradoc Iron Age hillfort

Highlight • Historical Site

The summit of Caer Caradoc boasts a fine example of an Iron Age hill fort. Here, you can explore the ancient ditches that soldiers used to defend against Roman invaders and look inside the cave where they would have sheltered from the strong winds and storms. There are breathtaking panoramas here for you to enjoy, too.

Caer Caradoc

Highlight • Climb

Caer Caradoc might not be the tallest of the Shropshire Hills but what it lacks in height, it certainly makes up for in character. The iconic hill has a very distinctive shape with jagged volcanic crags erupting from its steep sides. After a challenging climb to the 1,506-foot (459 m) summit, you're rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views over Long Mynd, The Lawley and Church Stretton; a view that stretches for miles over the Shropshire countryside.
