モーティマーフォレストのおすすめランニングルート

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.

Although originally made up of ancient royal chases and deer parks, the forest we see today was largely planted by the Forestry Commission in the 1920s.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

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.

High Vinnalls is the highest point in Mortimer Forest at 1,230 feet (375 m) and is considered part of the Shropshire Hills family, despite being in North Herefordshire. It rewards hikers with a massive vista of wild Mid Wales to the west, as well as a tick for Marilyn baggers. The Mortimer Trail, a 30-mile (48 km) hike from Ludlow to Kington, passes over the summit.

Straddling the border between Herefordshire and Shropshire is Mortimer Forest. It's an invigorating place to walk, with enchanting, hilly trails and plenty of wildlife. The forest reaches its highest point on the Marilyn summit of High Vinnalls at 1,230 feet (375 m). Once an ancient hunting forest, the majority of the trees here today were planted in the 1920s by the Forestry Commission. There are various circular trails through the forest representing varying degrees of difficulty.

A nice viewpoint but an unmarked top to one of England's Marilyns.
