Caer Caradoc is one of the most prominent of the South Shropshire Hills, with a summit of approximately 459 metres or 1500 feet above sea level. Close to the summit is the site of an iron age hill fort.
The history of Caer Caradoc is often associated with Caradoc, one of the last British leaders to resist the Roman invasion around 43AD. The Romans called him Caractacus.
According to the record (or is it legend?), Caractacus made a last stand with his followers on a hill that might possibly have been what we now know as Caer Caradoc. Caractacus was defeated and taken, as a prisoner, to Rome.
