Accessibility:

There is a car park, which is not level. The footpath up to Breidden Hill is steep and narrow, and can become very slippery when wet.

Breidden Hill is a volcanic feature, which dominates the area and stands over 1200ft high. Footpaths lead up to the summit with wonderful views of Shropshire & Wales. There are remains of an old hill fort en route which may have been the site of the last stand of Caractacus.
