Titterstone Clee Hill 

Titterstone Clee Hill is one of the highest points in Shropshire and is equally fascinating to geologists, historiand, bird lovers and orienteers alike. Although much of it is open rough moorland (mainly grass with areas of bracken, tussocks and marsh) it has been quarried and mined for millennia. The resulting features, combined with the relative absence of paths, offer a real orienteering challenge.

Race starts will be between 10:30am and 13.30pm.

The area was last used in November 2019 – link to the Routegadget for that event.

Podium Catering and Compass Point will be in attendance.

Preliminary course and start/finish information (subject to change):

Parking will be at Clee Hill Quarry SY8 3QA.

There will be a 500m walk (slightly uphill) from the car park to Start, and 500m back from Finish.

If you’d like to visit the hilltop after your run, it’s a 2.5km walk from assembly.  Alternatively, you can drive 2km west along the A4117, turn right (north) at the sign for Titterstone Clee Summit, and drive another 3km up Dhustone Lane to the hilltop car park. Most of the lane is single-track so can be tricky for large vehicles.
