Lots of trees with many branches on them. The view from top of the hill looks great.If you choose to not go upwards on the Wrekin hill there is also some very good tall trees walking around the hill only.

A challenging climb, but worth the views at the summit. My family has climbed this hill for generations so it has personal as well as historical significance.

Great place to come get some exercise and experience fantastic views! However, welfare facilities would be beneficial as my friend Pete (pictured) struggled without a latrine break; but he still managed to complete the walk without any noticeable issues.

There is a car park very near the start of the hike up to the Wrekin, I believe that you have to pay to park but can’t comment as we parked on the free parking area, all along the roadside there is fee parking (please park responsibly)The hike up to the top was very enjoyable with some extremely stunning views. You will often see paraglides taking off from the top which is cool to watch.We visited on a Sunday and it was extremely busy. Because of this, if we was to visit again we would visit in the week and leave early!

A great hill to dust of the cobwebs, fine for a dog walk, bike ride etc. Takes a couple of hours up and down. Parking can get busy

A great local walk with a non-stop incline! great work out for the quads, glutes and calves. a regular hiker will find this easy but as someone who recently started hill walks found this a little harder than others i have completed. Fantastic views, great diversity of users, however, cloud cover can happen very quickly and without warning depending on wind direction as you can see from our photos.A great morning walk and a good introduction for a beginner like me.I agree with other reviews, there are a lot of discarded pet poo bags at the summit and hidden in the rocks, that should not be happening, also a lot of dogs not on leads so please bare that in mind.

Moderate difficulty level, good to stretch legs. Parking is available however people do park on road sides free of charge. Mountain cycling is possible.

Beautiful walk and beautiful views. My favourite time to do it is in the dark so that you are up there to watch the sunrise. Even better with a Trangia stove, some bacon, baps and some coffee (always remember to remove all litter and every trace of you being there though)

Excellent walks with a choice of trails ,most people stick to the main path which is pretty much a constant incline to the summit, this is heavily used by the public great for cardio. The real gem of a walk is take the left track before the incline to the half way house, this takes you through the woodlands forest walk all the way to the opposite side of the wrekin and a beautiful wooded trail to the top which zig zags up the rear face of the wrekin .(Highly recommended)

Always loved the name of this hill even though I’m not local it’s a parliamentary constituency name that sticks in the mind! So when I was in the area, I decided to climb it. Not the biggest hill I’ve climbed but quite challenging all the same, would recommend sticks even though I didn’t see anybody using them, probably because it’s ‘only’ a climb of 800ft or so. Sticks could be useful especially on descent as the gradient is quite steep & almost constant.
