Planning an epic walk today. This is the view down Chapel bank. I aim to go down Titter hill and then back up Chapel Bank. Will probably take about 2 hours at current fitness levels.
Titter hill is not as exciting as it sounds. This is not a Frankie Howard titter. It is the Shropshire way of spelling teeter. The hill is very steep with a couple of winding bends. It is one of those roads that is a trap for the unwary user of SatNav, occasionally a lorry gets stuck on the hill and has to be pulled out by tractor.
Chapel Bank has an old broken down Chapel of course. There are lots of Chapels around here - far more than pubs of which there are now none - this must have been a wicked place in serious need of salvation in the past. Most of the chapels have now been made into nice homes - excellent recycling.
Titterstone Clee hill is a similar use of the word titter. I recommend a visit if you get the chance. You can get almost to the top by car and there is a large parking area. The views are splendid and you can roam about at will. There are some very interesting quarry buildings - dangerous for children unfortunately.
