Cleehill is a village in south Shropshire, England. It is sometimes written as Clee Hill Village (including the road sign entering the village) to avoid confusion. It lies in the civil parish of Caynham. The market towns of Ludlow and Cleobury Mortimer are both Шаблон:Convert distant, Ludlow to the west and Cleobury to the east.
It lies on the slope of Titterstone Clee Hill and, lying between Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert above sea level,[1] it is one of the highest settlements in the county.
Amenities
The village has Shropshire's highest school (the Clee Hill Community Primary School).[2]
Cleehill has a pub (the Cross on the Hill), a small convenience store and a fish and chips take-away. Until it closed in 2015, Shropshire's highest public house, at Шаблон:Convert, was The Kremlin[3] (previously the Craven Arms),[4] located on the upper slopes of the village.
There is a public car park by the A4117, which affords a considerable view over the Teme valley below and further into the counties of Herefordshire and Worcestershire. At the car park is a toposcope and other information boards. There are also public conveniences.
Transport
The A4117 runs through the village and there is a cattle grid stretching over this major thoroughfare due to the road running across common land. The road reaches an elevation of Шаблон:Convert as it passes Titterstone Clee Hill just to the east of the village, and is often affected by snow in winter. The B4214 road to Tenbury Wells starts at a junction with the A4117 in the village.
The 292 bus service (Ludlow-Cleobury-Bewdley-Kidderminster) calls at Cleehill, providing a regular service Monday to Saturday.[5]
Sport
The village has a football club called Clee Hill United, who play their home games at Knowle Sports Ground,[6] the highest venue in the Mercian Regional Football League at an elevation of Шаблон:Convert.
Climate
Although Cleehill has an oceanic climate like the rest of the U.K., it is slightly different to surrounding areas in certain months of the year and snowfall is more common in winter because of the high elevation.
Compared with the nearest Met Office weather station of Shobdon, Cleehill has colder maximum temperatures year-round, however minimum temperatures are warmer every month of the year except March and April, probably because of the reduced amount of sunshine the village receives compared to nearby areas.
Sunshine amounts are suppressed compared with nearby areas; Cleehill receives less sunshine than Shobdon in every month of the year except January.
Cleehill is also drier than surrounding areas with the exception of the months of April–July, when the village receives more rainfall. Precipitation tends to be heavier than in Shobdon, reflected in the reduced number of rainy days.[7] Шаблон:Weather box
