Overview

A short and s̶w̶e̶e̶t̶ steep 2-mile walk up, over and around Pontesford Hill and Earl’s Hill, within the South Shropshire Hills AONB. All being well, we will be rewarded with some far-reaching views, and perhaps a sweeping sunset, before descending to enjoy an optional pitstop at the Nag's Head.
