Haughmond Hill is a small, shallow hill in the English county of Shropshire. It is covered by woodland for the most part, although there is a small open cast quarry (for stone chippings) in use. Its proximity to the town of Shrewsbury has meant that it has become something of a forest park, with guided paths and picnic areas maintained in places. The rocky summit overlooks beautiful countryside and Shrewsbury itself. The village of Uffington lies below and the B5062 Shrewsbury to Newport road runs through the woodland.
Also nearby is Haughmond Abbey, which is now a ruin, but is still a heritage landmark.
Nearby are the old mining communities on the Clee Hills, notable geological features in the Onny Valley and Wenlock Edge and fertile farmland in the Corve Dale.
One of the Clee Hills, the Brown Clee Hill, is the county's highest peak at 540m.
