Situated on the Welsh Border, Runnis Meadow has quick and easy access to many popular walking trails within the Shropshire Hills. Notable features include the Stiperstones to the east and Offa’s Dyke to the south.
The Stiperstones
Just a short walk away, the Stiperstones are a series of quartzite rock formations that form the second-highest hill in the county. There are a number of walking routes through the stones that provide wonderful views and an excellent day out.

Roundton Hill is a large feature in the area, just across the Welsh Border from Runnis Meadow. This stunning hill comes complete with 237 fungi/lichens, 470 plants, 26 butterflies, 413 moths and 59 bird species. To top it all off (pun intended) you can find the remains of an Iron Age Hillfort at the summit.
