Brimstree Hill is a prominent natural landmark located in the county of Shropshire, England. Situated in the heart of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is part of a range of hills known as the Long Mynd. Brimstree Hill reaches an elevation of approximately 516 meters (1,693 feet), making it one of the highest points in the region.

The hill is characterized by its sprawling grassy slopes, which provide breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Its gentle gradients make it a popular destination for hikers, walkers, and nature enthusiasts alike. The hill's diverse flora and fauna add to its appeal, with heather, gorse, and bilberry bushes dotting the landscape.

Brimstree Hill also boasts a rich historical heritage. It is home to several Bronze Age burial mounds, known as barrows, indicating human activity in the area for thousands of years. The hill's strategic location has also made it a site of interest during various periods of conflict, with remnants of Iron Age hillforts and Roman encampments found nearby.

Fieldside pool off Park Lane The water level in this pool has been falling for several years, but it usually tops up with a wet autumn & winter; not this year. The footpath that runs alongside the pool leads to a popular walk over Lodge Hill.

The old Shifnal Road This short stretch of the old A4169 was isolated from the fast traffic when the road was realigned a few yards to the north in the 1970s. It now gives access to a number of cottages and barn conversions at The Hem, and provides a means of access to the Shifnal sewage works, Field Lane and Kemberton.
