CAER CARADOC

Caer Caradoc is one of the Stretton Hills.  It helps to make the east slope of the Stretton Valley opposite the Longmynd

It makes a very good view point and to add further interest there is also an Iron Age fort on the top

Looking down into the Stretton Valley from Caradoc it is hard to believe that you are looking at a tear in the Earth's crust, a fault line that was once as active as the famous San Andreas Fault in California.
