The Stiperstones is a distinctive hill located in the county of Shropshire, England. The quartzite rock of the ridge formed some 480 million years ago. During the last Ice Age, Stiperstones lay on the eastern margin of the Welsh ice sheet. The hill itself was not glaciated though glaciers occupied surrounding valleys and it was subject to intense freezing and thawing which shattered the quartzite into a mass of jumbled scree surrounding several residual rocky tors. The Stiperstones is noted for its tors of quartzite. The principal ones are named as follows, from north-east to south-west: Shepherd's Rock, Devil's Chair, Manstone Rock, Cranberry Rock, Nipstone Rock and The Rock.
The Stiperstones is also known for its lead mining history. The area is now a National Nature Reserve that includes the major part of the Stiperstones ridge in the Shropshire Hills, near the Welsh border. The nearest towns are Church Stretton and Pontesbury. The Stiperstones walk is considered one of the best walks in the Shropshire Hills.
