The Bronze Age stone circles of Mitchell's Fold and the now largely destroyed The Whetstones lie at the foot of the hill within Shropshire.

Heath Mynd

Heath Mynd is a hill in the English county of Shropshire. It is fairly unnotable except for its Marilyn status, a feature caused by the sharp drop on all sides. It is connected to Corndon Hill by a low col, and is only just inside England, being just one mile from the border with Wales. The nearby village is Norbury; nearest towns are Bishop's Castle and Church Stretton. Its nearest neighbour (visible in the photo) is called Cefn Gunthly.

River Onny

The River Onny is a river in Shropshire, England. It is a major tributary of the River Teme. The river has its sources in the Shropshire Hills at White Grit, located in Mid and South-west Shropshire. It has two branches, the East Onny and West Onny, which converge at Eaton, to the east of Lydham. The River Onny then flows in a South-easterly direction, through Craven Arms and Onibury, before it finally has its confluence with the River Teme just upstream of Ludlow at Bromfield.

Roundton Hill

Roundton Hill is a rounded, steep sided, 370 metres hill, volcanic in origin, in the easternmost part of old Montgomeryshire, Wales, which juts into the English border near Church Stoke. It is managed as a nature reserve by the Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust, who acquired it in 1985. There was once an Iron Age hillfort here. The vantage point offers views across the surrounding countryside. Lead and barite mines run into the hill, and are today used as a roost by Horseshoe and Daubenton's bats.
