Magical sunrise in the Stretton Hills

Here's a magical sunrise seen from the summit of Caer Caradoc, near Church Stretton.

Magical sunrise in the Stretton Hills

Waves of mist roll across the landscape, creating an ethereal and timeless scene.

Willstone Hill can be seen on the right, while Brown Clee and Titterstone Clee stand out on the horizon.

Stretching across the picture is Wenlock Edge, the long wooded escarpment that runs from Ironbridge to Craven Arms.

Mornings don’t come much better than this!
