Bluebell Woods on Shobdon Hill

Highlight • Summit

Wearing a gorgeous woodland cloak, whale-backed Shobdon Hill is a 1,070-foot (326 m) Marilyn-listed summit in Herefordshire. Hikers ascending from the east are rewarded with splendid views across the valley to Mere Hill Wood. A path traverses the broad crest of the hill, with the occasional vista seen through gaps in the trees. The Mortimer Trail traverses the hill on its way west towards Wapley Hillfort.
