Path on Brown Clee Hill
Brown Clee Hill is the highest hill in Shropshire, at 540 metres (1,770 ft) above sea level. It is part of the Clee Hills and is in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Brown Clee Hill lies five miles north of Titterstone Clee Hill.
There were three Iron Age hill forts at Brown Clee, the two at Abdon Burf and Clee Burf have been largely lost to quarrying activity, the hill fort at Nordy Bank is still intact.
Dhustone (Dolerite) was quarried in the area for many years, the Abdon Clee quarries closed in 1936.
Several air traffic control radar masts are on the summit of the hill, and a toposcope is sited at the summit.
