The Wrekin

The Wrekin is a large hill with a fort in the county of Shropshire.  Just 4 miles west of Telford the hill fort is a well preserved example and the large wooded expanse of land is very popular with walkers and tourists. Some magnificent views of the surrounding countryside can be observed from The Wrekin.

A local saying which refers to the long distance it takes to walk around the hill, ‘ All around the Wrekin’ and is often used to describe someone who is taking too long to explain something.
