Welcome to Stiperstones

Stiperstones is a small village located in the county of Shropshire, England. It is situated on the Stiperstones ridge, which is a range of hills that runs for approximately 8 miles. The village is known for its stunning natural beauty, with rolling hills, lush greenery, and breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. It is a popular destination for hikers, walkers, and nature lovers, who come to explore the many trails and paths that wind their way through the hills.

One of the most notable features of Stiperstones is the quartzite ridge that runs through the village. This ridge is made up of a unique type of rock that is found only in this area of Shropshire. The ridge is a popular destination for rock climbers, who come to test their skills on the challenging terrain. It is also a popular spot for birdwatchers, who come to see the many species of birds that make their home in the area.

Stiperstones is also home to a number of historic landmarks and attractions. One of the most notable is the Stiperstones Inn, which dates back to the 17th century. The inn is a popular spot for visitors, who come to enjoy a pint of local ale and a hearty meal after a day of exploring the hills. Other attractions in the area include the Stiperstones Nature Reserve, which is home to a wide variety of wildlife, and the Stiperstones Heritage Trail, which takes visitors on a journey through the history of the village and its surrounding area.
