ALL LUDLOW AREA IS A GREAT!!!

So beautiful place. Quiet and surrounded by fabulous scenery

A brilliant example of a multivallate Iron Age Fort, one of many forts along the Wales and England border. There are fine ramparts here but today in July, mid summer it is rather overgrown and it is difficult to see the grandness of it all. As Dan says, nobody seems to pay attention to here too, it not maintained, no information boards or signage. A pity as it is an easy walk and has fine views.

A beautiful gorge where the River Teme cuts through a limestone ridge. The area is National Nature Reserve and a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It is one of the last remnants of the ancient Royal Chase of Bringewood, which once was a large part of the Welsh border region. Trees here include sessile oak, lime, ash and wych elm, whilst the ravine creates a humid microclimate, giving rise to various ferns, bryophytes, lichens and fungi.

Nestled in the rolling countryside of the Marches, Lingen is a pleasant little Herefordshire village. Like many in the region, it was home to a Norman motte-and-bailey castle. All that remains are the earthworks. There is a wealth of hiking potential in the surrounding wooded hills. Real ales, log fires and traditional home cooked food can be sought at the Royal George, the village's pub. It is worth noting that it is only open for lunches on Sundays.

Sunny Hill is the site of Bury Ditches, an Iron Age hillfort dating back to around 500 BC. The fort is exceptionally well-preserved and has impressive defensive earthworks. Once covered in trees, planted by the Forestry Commission, a series of storms led to them being removed and today, the views are fantastic.

Make sure open the flap in the board walking down (Kempton-side). There used to be a village on top of this hill! Beautiful views in every direction here!

Lovely part of Shropshire to visit, good cafes and friendly pubs in the area. Never gets too busy and navigation isn't too tricky. I never fail to impress friends I take over there.
