Sibdon Pool

On the summit of Hopesay Hill This hill is only 284 metres high but gives spectacular views all around. Common heath land underfoot, it is light and springy walking. The ragged copse of trees on the right gives some shelter to grazing animals, though none are up here so early in the year. The wooded hill on the horizon is Burrow, with an ancient hill fort on the top - a beckoning place to explore for another day. — On the summit of Hopesay Hill Credit: Andrew Shannon

Footbridge over stream at Perry Gutter This wild and remote spot is on the fringe of Hopesay Hill, seen on the horizon. There are a couple lovely isolated dwellings closeby, but no road or easy access. A beautifully quiet corner of the world - and what a name!

Footpath travelling east between Hopesay and Aston hills Lovely upland walking through sheep meadows, heading towards Sibdon Carwood. The clouds are descending, drizzle is damping, but it is glorious countryside to be out in.

Looking south from Wart Hill over Hopesay Common The hill on the right partly hidden by overhanging branches is Burrow, atop of which is an Iron-age hill fort, see: <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burrow_(Shropshire)" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burrow_(Shropshire)">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>. The small village of Hopesay lies just to the left of centre of the photo but is hidden by trees. Beyond Burrow lies the valley of the River Clun that flows through villages that are famously &#039;the quietest places under the sun&#039; - I wouldn&#039;t dream of disagreeing!

Footpath west of Cheney Longville A misty, damp autumnal morning and a well used footpath/farm track. Somber mood at 11.00 am on 11 November, but so much to be thankful for being able to walk out in such peaceful countryside

Emerging from Warthill Plantation The autumnal larches we’re trying to shrug off the morning’s cloud and mist - they succeeded soon after this photo was taken.
