Wood, Forest in Shropshire

Spring Coppice

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.

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 'the quietest places under the sun' - I wouldn't dream of disagreeing!
