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

The ruins of Ludlow castle is on a promontory overlooking the River Teme. It was one of the first stone castles to be built in England and dates back to the 11th century.

You can just about make out the ramparts of Wapley Hillfort, but it is pretty overgrown.

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.

Can't believe this castle is still standing, it is amazing and well worth the near £10 for a visit and to get inside.

Although originally made up of ancient royal chases and deer parks, the forest we see today was largely planted by the Forestry Commission in the 1920s.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

Ruins of Ludlow castle

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.

Wearing a gorgeous woodland cloak, whale-backed Shobdon Hill is a 1,070-foot (326 m) Marilyn-listed summit in Herefordshire. Hikers ascending from the east are rewarded with splendid views across the valley to Mere Hill Wood. A path traverses the broad crest of the hill, with the occasional vista seen through gaps in the trees. The Mortimer Trail traverses the hill on its way west towards Wapley Hillfort.

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.

One of the earliest stone castles in England, this remarkable Norman castle stands over the River Teme in the historic town of Ludlow. Almost 1,000 years old, the ruins are in excellent condition and feature sections built across the centuries. The castle is privately-owned and open to visitors. It's also let out as a wedding venue and has a cafe and a shop. There is an entry-fee.

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

Shobdon Hill is a wooded hill near Kinsham and has an unmarked summit. It is a UK listed Marilyn.

Wapley Hill, at 1,079 feet (329 m), is a large and impressive Iron Age hillfort. It is not the finest example, as it is quite overgrown. It is also a UK listed Marilyn, so worth a bimble to tick it off.

Good views from High Vinnals at 370m altitude

One of Britains oldest and most magnificent castles.
