A welcome from the Friends of Pontesford and Earl’s Hill

Pontesford Hill is a famous local landmark loved for its walks by the local community and those from further afield.

It is now combined with the original Shropshire Wildlife Trust area of Earls Hill to form one large reserve.  The two hills now form a haven rich in wildlife: rare plants, butterflies and a wide variety of birds, bats lizards and other animals. We are holding a Public Consultation about the management of the reserve on Tuesday November 19th: see the News section.

There is a wide choice of walks, varying from gentle to very steep, so please wear suitable shoes / boots. The view from the summit is well worth the climb, especially on a clear day.

Please keep your dog under control at all times. Depending on your dog, it may be safe to let them off the lead in the wooded areas, but please keep them on a lead on the open hill: there are stock grazing, even if you cannot see them. There is a bin to “Bag and Bin” waste at the carpark. Further into the reserve please use “Stick and Flick” to keep the paths free of poo. Please don’t let your dog foul the open picnic area on top of the Lower Camp

Come and enjoy nature.
