Caer Caradoc is named after the local hero, Caradoc, who gave the Romans a bit of a hard time. He would have known the hill as a fortified village. As hill forts go this is quite spectacular and very steep. The odd piece of scrambling is available on the outcrops of Uriconian rocks that mark Caradoc and other hills east of the Stretton Fault as the kin of the Wrekin, Malverns and Haughmond Hill. The hill is a fine viewpoint rising straight out of the Cheshire/N Shropshire plain. It is also a spectacular sight travelling southwards from nearby Shrewsbury |
