The Clee Hills are a range of hills in Shropshire, England near Ludlow, consisting of Brown Clee Hill 1772 feet (540m), the highest peak in Shropshire and the Titterstone Clee Hill 1749- feet (533m). 

The hills stretch over 15 miles and run north-south, and for about five miles.

The B4364 road from Ludlow to Bridgnorth runs between the two hill, offering good views of both. The hills have been said to form a gateway from the built up areas of West Midlands to the hills and rural landscape of Wales and are at the heart of the Welsh Marches. Much quarrying has taken place on the hills of the years, and these are a large air traffic control domes and radar towers on the summits of both hills which can be since for many miles around.

Views from the west of the hills spread as far as Snowdonia and Cadair Idris, the Beacon Beacons, the Black Mountains, and the Long Mynd Stiperstones Shropshires third highest peak. 

It is possible to see the urban centres of Dudley and Wolverhampton, with Wolverhampton Wanderers FC Molineux Stadium visible. 

In the summer the hills are green and are easy walking, attracting many visitors from West Midlands and much further afield. But you must take care during the winter as thogh most of the time there is no snow or ice on the hills, when it comes it can be sudden and severe with very strong gales and blizzards often closing roads on the hill.
