If you look at the Shropshire Hills nowadays they seem quiet. Over 2000 years ago all was different. The hills were covered in Iron Age forts and the valleys full of homesteads. Now all that remains to be seen are the shrunken ramparts of once mighty fortifications.
“Home on a Hill” is the second in a series of 3 caches will take you to see and walk around some of the best Iron Age hill structures in South Shropshire. Each cache contains a board that tells you all about the site, what it was used for and what it would have looked like all those years ago so when you get there just let your imagination run wild.
I have attached a map as a JPG image that shows you a lovely route to take from The Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre in Craven Arms. www.shropshirehillsdiscoverycentre.co.uk
The complete series of caches are:
Park at the small lay-by at grid SO 402 846, the same as for the first cache. Cross the Stile and follow the “Wart Hill Wander” signs to the top of the hill. From the trig point follow the GPS.
I would like to thank the landowner for his kind permission to place the cache on his land and to Shropshire County Council for their help in setting up this series
