Geocache Description:

This cache was placed to commemorate the wedding of HRH Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton on Friday 29th April 2011.

It is a cache with a view!

A very fine view of Shropshire and the Welsh Borders.

Parking can be found at the pub car park or in one of the two lay-bys further up the hill.

Make sure your take a seat and enjoy the view...even if it is just for a few minutes!

The distinctive pine trees atop this small hill in the west of Shropshire can be seen from almost anywhere within the Rea Brook valley. The trees are a remnant of a Victorian plantation. Ironically, 'callow' means a bald hill. This hill was featured in the 1950 film Gone to Earth which is an adaptation of Mary Webb's book of the same name.

In Medieval times drovers collected animals from the farms and “drove” them to market, sometimes hundreds of miles away. They used routes often picked out only by a simple landmark. They are thought to have been planted as a drover's landmark.

I believe that most of the wooded area was felled during the First World War to supply the war effort, leaving just a small round area which appears like an enormous caterpillar crawling across the hillside!
