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.
