Ratlinghope

Prolley Moor (also known as Prolly Moor) is a small dispersed settlement in Shropshire, England, based around a cross roads. The settlement is located one mile from Asterton and half a mile from Wentnor. There are no services at Prolly Moor.

Huglith Mine is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in Shropshire, England. It is located 4km west of Dorrington or 3km southeast of Minsterley. It is protected because of the geology exposed in this disused mine (the mine opened in the 19th century and closed in 1945). When the mine was active, it was a major producer of barium and this protected area still has an exceptional deposit of barite.

Wentnor is a village and civil parish in Shropshire, England. It lies to the west of the Long Mynd and between the village and the hill range is the dispersed settlement of Prolly Moor. The village itself is situated atop a hill, which rises to 269 metres (883 ft) above sea level, with the Criftin Brook to the east and the River East Onny to the west. The nearest towns are Church Stretton and Bishop's Castle, the village of Asterton lies 1 mile to the south east of the village. There is a parish church and two public houses: the "Crown" in the village itself and the "Inn on the Green" which is in a hamlet, just outside the village, by the River East Onny called The Green.

The Long Mynd (Welsh: Cefn Hirfynydd) is a heath and moorland plateau that forms part of the Shropshire Hills in Shropshire, England. The high ground, which is common land and designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, lies between the Stiperstones range to the west and the Stretton Hills and Wenlock Edge to the east. Much of it is owned by the National Trust, and is managed by the Longmynd Commoners.The Long Mynd is approximately 7 miles (11 km) long by 3 miles (5 km) wide, and is broadly characterised by steep valleys on its eastern flanks, and a long slope to the western side rising in a steep escarpment. In its vicinity are the principal settlements of Church Stretton, Little Stretton and All Stretton, Pulverbatch, Smethcott, Woolstaston, Asterton, Myndtown, Wentnor and Ratlinghope. The highest point on the Long Mynd is Pole Bank (1,693 ft, 516 m); this and the adjacent hill of Caer Caradoc (1,506 ft, 459 m) are classed as Marilyns.

The Longmyndian Supergroup is a 6,000-metre-thick (20,000 ft) sequence of Ediacaran (late Precambrian) rocks that outcrop between the Pontesford–Linley Fault System and the Church Stretton Fault System in the Welsh Borderland Fault System of England and Wales. The supergroup consists of two major geological groups, the Stretton Group and the overlying Wentnor Group. The successions represented by these two groups have also been referred to as the Eastern Longymndian and Western Longmyndian respectively, forming as they do the bedrock of the east and west parts of the Long Mynd in Shropshire. The rocks are a generally regressive sequence from basinal facies to clastic sedimentation. The rocks are thought to be derived from Uriconian mountains that were formed during the southward subduction of an oceanic plate beneath a continental block (ocean closure). The rocks have since been folded due to fault movements and plunge gently to the south. The Longmyndian rocks were deposited in northeast–southwest trending faulted rift basins. These were deposited on top of the Uriconian volcaniclastic deposits. Subsequent ocean closure squeezed these rocks together to provide sub-vertical bedding in the synclinal sequence seen in exposed rocks today. The deposited rocks of the Longmyndian show a variety of depositional facies that tell a story of ocean closure. The Longmyndian deposits rest upon Uriconian rocks but different sections are exposed exclusively between the Church Stretton Fault and the Pontesford-Linley Lineament.

Asterton is a hamlet in Shropshire, England in the civil parish of Myndtown. The name means "eastern home farm", from Old English east "east" and "ham" "home". It is thought to date back to early Saxon times. It is situated 4 miles south west of Church Stretton, 6 miles north west of Bishops Castle, 15 miles north west of Ludlow and 17 miles south of Shrewsbury, the county town of Shropshire. The nearest other settlements are Prolly Moor, Wentnor, Ratlinghope, Myndtown and Little Stretton. The village is home to 40 residents in 13 houses. It is well known for being at the foot of the long, steep and precipitous single lane road the runs down the western ridge of the Longmynd into the village. This road is often closed during spells of adverse weather in the winter and results in motorists facing a diversion via Plowden and Marshbrook before reaching Church Stretton. The Midland Gliding club is situated at the top of this road, above the village on the Longmynd.

Betchcott () is a hamlet near the villages of Picklescott and Woolstaston in Shropshire, England. It lies in the parish of Smethcott, in the northern foothills of the Long Mynd. The nearest town is Church Stretton. The hamlet is made up of three farms, Upper Farm, Middle Farm and Batchcott Hall Farm, as well as Batchcott Hall and several other cottages. Its name is derived from Old English bæce or bece, "brook", referring to a cottage by a brook.Max Wenner (1887–1937), textile businessman, birder, landowner; possibly a British Secret Service agent assassinated by the Gestapo, lived at Batchcott Hall at time of his death.

Picklescott is a village in Shropshire, England. It is located in the northern foothills of the Long Mynd, approximately 5 kilometres (3 miles) northwest of Church Stretton and 11 kilometres (7 miles) south of Shrewsbury.Picklescott lies in the parish of Smethcott, now a hamlet to its east. To the south of the village is the hamlet of Betchcott. There is a public house in Picklescott - the Bottle and Glass - a traditional country pub, which serves local real ales and food, and a Village Hall built in 1967 with additions in 2004.

Wild Edric's Way is a waymarked long distance footpath running wholly within the county of Shropshire in England. The path runs for 49 miles (79 km), mostly sharing the route of the Shropshire Way.

The Stiperstones (Welsh: Carneddau Teon) is a distinctive hill in Shropshire, England. The quartzite rock of the ridge formed some 480 million years ago. During the last Ice Age Stiperstones lay on the eastern margin of the Welsh ice sheet. The hill itself was not glaciated though glaciers occupied surrounding valleys and it was subject to intense freezing and thawing which shattered the quartzite into a mass of jumbled scree surrounding several residual rocky tors. At 536 metres (1,759 ft) above sea level it is the second-highest hill in the county, surpassed only by Brown Clee Hill (540 metres (1,772 ft)). Stiperstones' 8-kilometre (5 mi) summit ridge is crowned by several jagged outcrops of rock, which may be seen silhouetted against the sky.

Habberley is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Pontesbury, in the Shropshire district, in the ceremonial county of Shropshire, England. Habberley lies near the Stiperstones southwest of the town of Shrewsbury. Formerly a small (325 acres (132 ha)) civil parish in its own right Habberley was merged in to the Pontesbury civil parish on 1 April 1967. Its main amenities are a small Anglican church (St Mary's), a public house (The Mytton Arms), and village hall. In 1824 its population was recorded as 151 - by 1961 this had declined to 66 but residential development such as the conversion of redundant farm buildings has seen it rise again to about 100 residents in 2012. Mary Webb, the romantic novelist, called the place and surrounding district 'Bitterley' in her 1916 novel The Golden Arrow.

Eastridge Mountain Bike Trail Centre is a free mountain biking venue in Shropshire, UK. The venue is developed and maintained by volunteers, and features a mixture of blue, red and black graded trails. There are also a number of steep, technical off-piste trails. Since 1991 Eastridge Woods have been used to host Downhill and XC mountain biking events since the 90's hosted the British National Mountain biking Championships in 1993,1994,1995,1996 and 1999.
