Lyth Hill Viewpoint

Highlight • Natural

Lyth Hill lies within its own country park and offers tremendous views. Rising out of patchwork land to the south of Shrewsbury, the trail from the top has clear vistas of Caer Caradoc and the Long Mynd to the south. The panorama includes excellent views of the Wrekin, Telford's impressive isolated hill, to the east and the Stiperstones in the southwest.

Woods and grasslands make up much of the hillside, creating a thriving habitat for birds and mammals. If you come on a clear night, the stargazing is usually very good thanks to the area's low level of light pollution.

View of Shropshire from Lyth Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

This starts out as a double-track rough lane, which after going through a gate, leads onto a short grassy section before a short, steep rocky descent to another gate. The rocky descent is gnarly! So I'd get off and walk down it unless you've got good mountain bike skills.
