Scenic Beauty
From the summit looking south west down the main spine of the hill the closer peaks of the Clee Hills, The Wrekin, Malvern and Abberley hills are usually visible. On a clear day one can see 30 miles south to the Cotswolds, 25 miles south west to the Malvern Hills, 35 miles north east to Charnwood Forest, 40 miles north to the Peak District, 20 miles west to the Shropshire Hills, the Bromyard Downs in Herefordshire, and 55 miles south west to the Black Mountains. This comes from its situation in the middle of England, distant from all other hills but not too distant.

Famous quotes containing the words scenic and/or beauty:
“Hence from scenic bacchanal,
Preshrunk and droll prodigal!
Smallness that you had to spend,
Spent. Wench, whiskey and tail-end
Of your overseas disease
Rot and rout you by degrees.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“I allow a Beauty to be as much to be commended for the Elegance of her Dress, as a Wit for that of his Language; yet if she has stolen the Colour of her Ribbands from another, or had Advice about her Trimmings, I shall not allow her the Praise of Dress, any more than I would call a Plagiary an Author.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
