Stiperstones NNR is a knobbly backbone of ridge crested by distinctive quartzite rock formations spread-eagled across Shropshire, England, yet close to the Welsh border. It is surrounded by rolling green countryside and is part of the Shropshire Hills AONB. Long-distance footpaths like the Cross-Britain Way pass through, and there are compelling legacies of prehistoric settlements and 19th-century mining to uncover.
