 Haughmond Hill Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Haughmond Hill is formed from some of the oldest rocks in Shropshire.
It is one of a number of Precambrian hills with stunning views of the Shropshire landscape.
Like Lyth Hill, Haughmond Hill is made up of ancient sediments, cascading off the edge of a continent into the ocean that surrounded it.

 Local Heritage Initiative - Rock Makes the Lyth Hill Landscape
The Lyth Hill ridge is part of the north-easterly extension of the up-folded line of ancient rocks (Precambrian, about 550 million years old) which connects the Long Mynd to the south west with Haughmond Hill to the north east.
The Wrekin and Stretton Hills are remnants of the eastern limb.
The geological evolution of the hills can be traced from the oldest Precambrian of the Wrekin and Pontesford Hill, through the period when we were on the edge of a great ocean out to the west, with limestones and other shallow water sediments to the east, giving Wenlock Edge and the Stiperstones.

A course on recording and identifying the native wild plants of Haughmond Hill with Sarah Whild and Alex Lockton in partnership with the Shropshire Botanical Society
There are few ‘repeat’ floras of sites and although Haughmond Hill has never had a formal published Flora, there have been at least two comprehensive surveys in the 1950s and 1980s.
At the end of the course, you should be familiar with the general use of an appropriate wild plant key for identifying a range of plant taxa, and you should be able to plan a small botanical survey and write up the results.

 ENGLISH NATURE - Special Sites
In the west and south-west of the County, the Shropshire Hills form an area of great diversity of landform, vegetation and landscape character comprising the Clee Hills, Wenlock Edge, Stretton Hills, Long Mynd, Stiperstones and the Wrekin.
Running in a line parallel to the orientation of the Pre-Cambrian formed hills is the distinctive wooded escarpment over 25 km long, on Wenlock Edge, which is flanked on either side by broad, flat-bottomed dales (Apedale and Hopedale).
These hills protrude from the Old Red Sandstone plateau and are formed of Carboniferous Limestone and Coal Measures, capped by a thick layer of basalt.

Traces of the Clive copper mines are now difficult to locate, but even the most casual visitor to the hill cannot fail to be struck by the numerous rock faces and now over grown sandstone quarries, of which there are over 30 in Grinshill and Clive parishes.
Grinshill Hill is formed of Triassic sandstone’s and mudstones, formed respectively by wind deposition and in shallow lagoons between 270 and 200 million years ago, when the area was a hot desert.
The tradition that Grinshill stone was quarried by the Romans cannot be substantiated, but quarries have certainly existed on the hill for about ten centuries, and have provided stone for building Haughmond Abbey (begun circa 1135) and several of North Shropshire’s 12th century churches and chapels.
