The remnants of a much bigger forest, high on a hill. Very atmospheric place.

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.

Spanning the River Teme at the entrance to Ludlow is the beautiful Dinham Bridge. This super nice arched stone bridge is not as old as it looks, being built in 1823, it is not that old in UK terms, and it was constructed by no other than Thomas Telford. It is a stunning bridge with a gorgeous river vista and views of Ludlow Castle.

lovely little bit of single-track, can get a little bit muddy.

Beautiful weir situated below the stunning castle

Well maintained trails by infamous local bike shop Pearce Cycles (who also run uplift days here occasionally).

Although originally made up of ancient royal chases and deer parks, the forest we see today was largely planted by the Forestry Commission in the 1920s.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.

Plenty of parking places around. (Small pull ins etc). Very technical due to gradient and slippy tree roots. Demanding but fun.
