Corndon Hill

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Corndon Hill is actually in Wales, although it's surrounded on 3 sides by Shropshire, and it's part of the same geological formations as the adjacent hills. There is a Bronze Age burial cairn on the top. The trail here is mostly grassy and pretty straightforward. As with all things, though, it can get rather soggy when the weather's moist!

Mitchell's Fold Stone Circle

Highlight • Historical Site

Mitchell's Fold is a Bronze Age stone circle, through which the bridleway ruins through. None of the stones are of Stonhenge grandeur, but it's still impressive just the same.

Local folklore has it that it was once a magic circle housing a magic cow, which used to give unlimited milk. One day, it was milked by a witch who used a sieve instead of a bucket, and dried out the cow which then fled. As a punishment, the witch was turned to stone, and the other stones stop her from escaping. There clearly wasn't much to do in Shropshire.

The Stiperstones

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

The Stiperstones is actually a hill with outcroppings of rock - tors - on the top (all of which have individual names). It was formed by repeated freeze-thawing of the summit during the last ice age. The bridleway skirts the bottom of the summit (so to speak) but it's a magnificent looking place all the same.
