The Wrekin Sunset Hike

## Details

Join us on Monday 9th June for an unforgettable sunset hike up The Wrekin, one of Shropshire’s most iconic hills. We’ll follow a well-trodden path through peaceful woodland before emerging onto open ground for sweeping 360° views from the summit. As the sun begins its descent, we’ll settle in with blankets and snacks to soak up the golden hour glow from the top—pure magic.
Don’t forget your headtorch for the journey down and a blanket or warm layer to wrap up and stay cosy while we watch the sun go down.

### Route Highlights

🗻 The Wrekin Summit (407m): A legendary hill steeped in myth and local folklore, rising proudly above the Shropshire Plain. The climb is short but steep—and totally worth it for the views.
🌅 Sunset Views: On a clear evening, you’ll see all the way to the Malvern Hills, Brecon Beacons, and even Snowdonia. Bring your camera or just your eyeballs—this is one for the memory bank.
🌳 Woodland Trails: Start and finish under the leafy canopy of The Wrekin’s ancient woodlands, home to owls, woodpeckers, and the occasional startled squirrel.
📚 Iron Age Hillfort: The summit is topped by the remains of a hillfort, adding a little slice of history to your adventure.
