Take a picnic on a fine day. Be aware even on a summers day the summit is breezy and you may feel cold.

From a distance this hill doesn't look much, even though it kept its snow for days after it had melted everywhere else. Having lived in Telford for just over a year, and people saying to us "haven't you been up the Wrekin yet?!" we thought that now the weather was so glorious now was the time. Let's just say we...

Lovely walk if not hard work to the top, took about 45 mins, there is a cafe on route. Views were fanastic, took 30mins to walk down, well worth it.

As the title says so not so good for some but worth the climb. We made the mistake of going up on New Years Day when the whole of Telford seemed to have had the same idea. The path can be very muddy in places and uneven in others so take care. Half way up is a cafe which is... More

The Wrekin embodies everything I like abut the UK. People of all ages and abilities make the trek up and down the hill We arrived straight from the airport after our flight in from the US. The views from the top were fantastic! This will take an hour or two to get up & down, depending on your ability. Don't... More

If you like a good walk in an unspoilt location this is the place. Easy to get to in Telford and easy to find! Get out your walking boots and go for it! Path's are steep! Only attempt if you are reasonable fit!

As I was in the area I decided to take a trip to this famous local attraction. It was a good long walk up to the top. Once at the top you had an amazing view of Telford, Ironbridge and surrounding areas. Gave me a very nice and country feel. Amazed at how many people go even in the cold... More
