I have mentioned the Toposcopes on the top of hills and hillforts and as I will talk about these places again I thought a brief description would be interesting. A Toposcope is a monument indicating direction and distance of notable land marks
The Long Mynd is the back drop to Church Stretton, seven miles north of Craven Arms. The Long Mynd is approximately 7 miles long by 3 miles wide. The highest point is Pole Bank at 516 metres (1,693 feet) above sea level.
There are over fifty hill forts in Shropshire and there is access to a lot of them. From our door there is Norton Camp. It can’t be seen from our house but is well worth the walk up through Whettleton. Although covered
