Shropshire Hills, Upland and Upland Fringe
Author(s): Jeremy Lake
The Shropshire Hills are bounded by the Shropshire, Cheshire and Staffordshire Plain to the north and the Severn Valley and Mid Severn Sandstone Plateau to the east. To the south-east lies the Teme Valley, on the edge of the Herefordshire Plateau, and to the south-west lie the Clun and North West Herefordshire Hills. The Shropshire Hills form an area of great diversity with steep-sided ‘whaleback’ hills of open moorland interspersed with settled valleys. Less than 1% of the area is urban, 8% is woodland. Nearly 50% of the area lies within the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
