My perfect hill has rocky crags, great views and a sense of solitude. Bonus points for hill-forts, caves and deer. Minus points for mud, crowds and litter. Knowing (intimately) all 130 of Shropshire's hills, here are my 10 favorites.
Excellent video. Provides a really helpful overview for someone looking to check out those hills for the first time. I’ll certainly consider some of these when I manage to make it over that way 👍
Ragleth was a close thing to include in the top ten... for me the steep southern approach is the highlight of the hill... but I felt like The Lawley just edged it out. Ragleth is definitely in the top 20 though, as would be Cefn Hepreas... you've got to go there, simply delectable views. Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.
I'm actually up in Shropshire this week. Not much time to walk or mountain bike unfortunately as I'm looking at property :-( Only manged one bike ride at Hopton Wood and two walks so far : Mortimer Forest (Herefordshire) and Sliperstones (which I loved, although the missus moaned about rocks on her ankles all the way :-) ). But I have a few days left so thanks for the tips.
C'est réellement superb ! I love it. Seems like massif central or morvan mountains in France. But more beautiful ! I love Shropshire blue cheese too ♡ greetings...
Stunning. Love Shropshire! Been there a couple of times already. Ludlow, Wroxeter, Shrewsbury, Gorge area and I went to Stretton. My paternal grandmothers surname was Stretton and I am drawn to that name because it is English.
Very nice video, I walked up Earls hill and pontesford last weekend, then did Nesclife, all after watching your videos.New hills for me. I thought I had done a lot of walking in Shropshire but after watching your videos I have a lot more to do.keep it up
@@shropshirehillwalks5343 in shropshire, The Lawley. North ridge is my favourite, as the views just get better and better. Love the Crow at the Summit. South ridge is good too, but as it's steeper you get your head down and only get the pleasure as you near the summit. I have a soft spot for Helmith hill too.
@@shropshirehillwalks5343 There is no story. It's just an observation.If you have any images of the back of Nipstone rock predominatly on the second rock up you can see the triangular shape carved into the rock. On the first rock it is less distinctive but it is there with what I believe to be smoke marks on the wall. How old they are is a question. A few hundred yards away is Ritton Castle before it was a castle it was an iron age settlement. I love the Shropshire hills steeped in history and folklore
