St Georges at Burrington is now closed and is up for sale, possibly for conversion to a house! At present it is closed off with builder's fencing.

This shows the winding nature of the Teme in these parts, plus it is the only crossing point for some distance in both directions.

You do get a view of the distant Welsh Hills from the summit, but you need to stand on the bench to get a good view as the trees are starting to grow and block it out.

Grade 2 listed Burrington Bridge over the River Teme.

Beautiful spot to camp. Just off the road by the Mortimer Forest car park and right next to Bringewood. You can ride straight out of the campsite and into Bringewood Forest and start your adventure ride without touching tarmac :-) Really friendly hosts and super clean showers and toilet facilities.

Wanna swim ? Not here. Just enjoy stream sounds…

St. George, Burrington. A mostly Victorian rebuilt church of 1864, with a spire. It is in a very pretty setting. At the east end are eight cast iron grave slabs dating from the early 17th century. They are rare examples of early ironwork. They were made during the period when iron was worked at Downton Gorge.

Although originally made up of ancient royal chases and deer parks, the forest we see today was largely planted by the Forestry Commission in the 1920s. It was named after the Mortimer Family, Norman Lords who held power over the region for some 300 years.
