Toposcope on the old grandstand, Racecourse Common, Oswestry
The toposcope panel here, installed on behalf of the local Rotary Club, identifies various hills that can be viewed from this point, such as the Breidden Hills, Clee Hills, Long Mountain, Corndon etc. Though I think the forestry and nearby deciduous trees may have grown somewhat since it was installed.

View to the west from the Old Racecourse, Oswestry Rural
Judging by the skyline plaques at the old grandstand there must have been a view westwards from there, but it is now completely blocked by trees. A helpful local directed us to this spot, where there is a comparatively restricted view across a valley to the hills beyond. This image was taken from a locked gate - you can't get to the gate in the picture.
