The Shropshire Hills were designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty in 1958 and cover almost a quarter of Shropshire. There are over 160 hills in Shropshire, making it a great location to hike the Shropshire Hills. The tallest hill is Abdon Burf at 540m. The beauty of these hills, as with all of nature, is how they change with the seasons, giving a different experience depending on the time of year you visit with the varied conditions, colours and wildlife. I have hiked Stiperstones at least 20 times and each occasion has been different to the last and just as wonderful. I have also taken to learning about the history, myths and legends associated with them. Here I have chosen my top 5 Shropshire Hills for hiking, I hope it inspires you to get into the hills and get exploring!
