The Wrekin, Mountain and royal forest in Shropshire, England.
The Wrekin rises 407 meters above sea level, featuring volcanic rock formations and woodland trails that extend across its slopes.
The Iron Age hill fort at the summit, constructed by the Cornovii tribe, served as their capital until Roman forces destroyed it in 47 AD.
The mountain appears in A.E. Housman's poetry collection 'A Shropshire Lad' and holds significance in regional literature and folklore.
Visitors access the mountain through marked trails from designated parking areas near the final junction of the M54 motorway.
The geological structure contains Precambrian volcanic rocks and lava flows dating back approximately 680 million years.
