Battle Stones on Willstone Hill

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Battle Stones, situated on Willstone Hill adorn the ridge between the towns of Church Stretton and Cardington.

Though their name has been documented since 1623, the historical accounts of a battle or skirmish during the Roman invasion remain unverified.

The spot is an excellent viewpoint, capturing The Lawley ridge and the iconic pudding-basin-shaped hill, The Wrekin, on the horizon.
