| Description: | Viewpoint, Hazler Hill, Church Stretton. Looking NNW. The highest point in the photograph is Caer Caradoc with its crags composed of Uriconian rhyolites. The remainder of Caer Caradoc Hill consists of lavas and tuffs of this formation with dolerite intrusions. The foot of the hill to the west is marked by the Church Stretton Fault which throws down Silurian and Carboniferous (Coal Measures) rocks to form the floor of the main Church Stretton valley stretching northwards to the Cheshire Plain. The easterly foothills of the Longmynd appear in the extreme left of the photograph. The wooded hill in the middle distance is Helmeth Hill, the western side of which is composed of Uriconian rocks. Unconformably overlying the Uriconian and forming the western side of the Helmeth and the ground below the line on Caer Caradoc are the lowest beds of the eastern Longmyndian known as Helmeth Grits, and dipping west, followed by Stretton Shales. |
