In the eastern part of south Shropshire, the River Corve runs through a broad alderlined valley known as the Corvedale.

Nearby are the Clee Hills: Titterstone Clee Hill and Brown Clee Hill.

Coal mining on the Clee Hills started in medieval times while the Corvedale was alight with blast ovens and iron factories.

Dense black smoke would have filled the valley as chunks of the hills were carved out.

Today black dhustone is still quarried on Titterstone Clee, but Brown Clee is silent.

Walking

Every year ramblers flock to the Shropshire Hills AONB because of its rich walking opportunities and Brown Clee Hill is the highest point in Shropshire.

But why not explore the Corvedale first?!

This charming and captivating valley has lots to offer.

We highly recommend the Corvedale Three Castles walk.

This is an 11,5-mile circular walk, that takes you out into the beautiful Shropshire countryside in and around the Corvedale.

Taking in points of interest on the way such as Bromcroft Castle, Corfton Castle, Old Chapels and Delbury Hall.
