This is the summit of The Ercall, which is part of the Telford and Wrekin 3 Peaks Hiking Challenge.
The summit isn’t marked. Also, plot your route carefully, as there is a disused quarry edge nearby.
The summit is just a mound covered by plants
The Ercall is part of a Local 3 Peaks Challenge.
For some summits, the precise location cannot be reached. You can still bag the summit by getting as close as safe and legally possible.
Always remember to take into account weather conditions and the abilities of your family.

In this case, in the summer at least, there’s nothing much that’s actually visible. Photo Credit: © Copyright Richard Law and licensed for reuse under this Creative Commons Licence.
