Track across Clee Hill Titterstone Clee Hill is the third-highest hill in Shropshire at 533m (1,749 ft). Many derelict quarry buildings are scattered over the slopes of the hill, they were used for the mining of coal, and the quarrying of dhustone (dolerite), used in road-building.

Random A tongue of reclaimed farmland on Clee Hill. It is surrounded by moorland. The golf ball is the summit radar station, which looks strange to those of us from the west who associate it with a sharp peak. The gentle slope southwards of the summit matches the dhustone (dolerite) intrusion which caps the Clees.

View from Clee Hill towards Abberley Hill and Woodbury Hill On a frosty morning and with a temperature inversion below Clee Hills steep slopes just the tip of these hills make an appearance in the right of shot.

It's minus 3 degrees Celsius on the mountain road and only one degree warmer down in the fog.

View from Clee Hill on a foggy morning The two hill summits of Abberley Hill and Woodbury Hill just make an appearance out above the temperature inversion below mighty Clee Hill. They look like a smudge of cloud or fog but they are solid terra firma (seen on the 'skyline' of the fog near the top of this shot).

Random moor and Clee Hill radar. The tussock grass plateau makes for rather boring walking at the oddly named Random. Easy going after a very dry spring but probably more exciting in winter.
