Although not very high, Caer Caradoc is a dominating elevation in its area which is just to the east of the Long Mynd. As with many elevated points in England and Wales it is the locale for a hill-fort,  probably from around the time of the Romans.  The most obvious evidence of such structures are the remains of extensive, defensively oriented earthworks (ditches and embankments).  Trailheads for Caer Caradoc can easily be reached by train from Brum to Church Stretton (with a change in Shrewsbury--if you have time between trains take a walk around Shrewsbury--in addition to the castle next to the rail station there are some very narrow streets with half-timbered houses near the center ot town).      Note: for a distant view of Caer Caradoc see bottom-left photo on Long Mynd page.
