Callow Hill from Craven Arms

The Shropshire hills are a convenient get away if you want a hilly walk but the mountains of Snowdonia and the Lakes are too far to travel for the weekend.

This is a 10km walk from Craven Arms up to Callow Hill, and as you can see from the picture below, the view from Flounder’s Folly  is well worth it on a clear day.
