Willstone Tourist Information


Willstone is a tiny hamlet in the parish of Cardington. It lies on the South-East slope of a ridge called The Wilderness, overlooked by higher hills - Caer Caradoc and The Lawley.

South of Willstone rises Willstone Hill, with the rock towers of the Battle Stones on its summit. There is good walking in this area, easily reached from Church Stretton.
