Radway Hill is a prominent feature located in the county of Staffordshire, England. Despite its name, it is not actually a hill but rather a small, isolated mountain that rises to an elevation of approximately 233 meters (764 feet) above sea level.

Situated near the village of Radway, the hill offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Its distinctive shape and high vantage point make it a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Staffordshire.

The hill is characterized by its steep slopes and rocky terrain, which adds to its allure and provides a challenging climb for avid mountaineers. Its location within the Radway Grange Estate also makes it an ideal spot for peaceful walks and picnics, with designated trails and pathways crisscrossing the area.

In addition to its natural beauty, Radway Hill holds historical significance. It is believed to have played a role in the English Civil War, as it overlooks the site of the Battle of Edgehill, one of the first major conflicts of the war in 1642. Visitors can explore the nearby Edgehill Battlefield and learn about the area's rich history.

Overall, Radway Hill offers a unique blend of natural splendor and historical significance. Whether one is seeking an adventurous climb or a peaceful escape, this Staffordshire landmark is sure to captivate and inspire all who visit.

Cave at Prestwood near Stourton, Staffordshire This cave in the Triassic sandstone is on land belonging to Prestwood Cave Nursery. The nursery grows a limited range of hardy shrubs and other plants. Quality is high, and the prices are very reasonable. The hard winter of 2010-2011 killed many plants in nurseries all over the West Midlands, but enough remains here to continue trading.
