Nover's Hill in Shropshire is the highest point in the county at 479m. It's an excellent place for sunset and sunrise, and I've never seen so many perched boulders in my life. It's also a great place to take a walk or run with one of the best views I have ever seen while running. I could write a whole blog post on this one. The best view I have ever seen while running is from the top of Novers Hill, Sh Shropshire.

And I haven't even mentioned Blaven yet...  The Clachaig Inn in Glencoe is one of my favourite places to stay when I'm in the area. The food is excellent, the beer is excellent, and it's got a great atmosphere. It's also a great place to eat out as it's usually packed with walkers and climbers.
