Hiking
Clee Burf is the second of two summits on Brown Clee Hill, itself the highest point in Shropshire. This summit reaches 1,673 feet (510 m) and offers fantastic views of the Shropshire Hills AONB.
There are three Iron Age hillforts on Brown Clee, including one on Clee Burf although it's been largely eradicated by historical quarrying activity. On a clear day, this is a magnificent snack stop.

Abdon Burf may be slightly higher, but Clee Burf is still a place of rare intrigue: Iron Age forts dot the hillsides, quarrying has produced extraordinary collapsed bell pits like the one in the photo, and the Brown Clee Hills are home to a surprisingly huge number of crashed aircraft.
