About the event
Join us on Monday 4th August for an after-hours adventure up one of the most iconic peaks in the Shropshire Hills — Caer Caradoc. With golden light, sweeping views, and ancient legends underfoot, this sunset hike promises drama, beauty and feel-good summer energy.

From there, it’s a steady climb to the summit of Caer Caradoc — where views stretch across Church Stretton, the Long Mynd, and beyond.
With a bit of luck and some clear skies, we’ll perch up high to catch another unforgettable sunset showstopper. Bring a flask, a snack, and something to sit on — we’ll soak in the views and let nature do her thing.
