The Geo-trail at Haughmond Hill offers visitors what are, quite possibly, two of the best viewpoints in Shropshire! Half-way along the path, a short detour leads to the quarry viewpoint and this involves a relatively steep gradient (18%(1:6) over a distance of 15m) on what is otherwise a very gradual uphill, on a wide, well surfaced path. The viewpoint at the end of the linear trail is stunning; however , the last 100m of the path is unsurfaced and involves another short, steep gradient to the top. Located just a few miles east of Shrewsbury, Haughmond Hill is a very popular site with the locals, offering a variety of trails as well as disabled parking, accessible toilets, refreshments and picnic areas
