Stiperstone Ridge
High up in the Shropshire Hills lie these quartzite rocky tors called the Stiperstones. They were formed around 480 million years ago. During the last ice age the hill itself wasn't glasiated, though the surrounding valleys were, so the tors were subjected to intense freezing and thawing which shattered the quartzite into these amazing shapes, some of the tors have a mass of scree at there base.
