This gorgeous, Grade I-listed bridge connects the village of Ludford to the historic town of Ludlow. Spanning the River Teme, the bridge was the site of a small battle during the War of the Roses in 1459.

This bridge was built in the 15th century although has been renovated and repaired several times due to various damage. There are pedestrian refuges built into the sides, perfect for admiring the river from.

Ludlow Town Centre

Highlight • Historical Site

Ludlow is a medieval market town and has more beautiful buildings than you can shake a stick at. With cobbled streets and black and white timbered buildings, it's an incredibly picturesque location.

The town has many independent shops, restaurants and accommodation options, making it a fascinating and unique place to visit. Almost 500 of its buildings are listed and every street contains something to gawp at. On the banks of the River Teme, the town has several stunning bridges and an 11th-century castle.

High Vinnalls Summit

Highlight • Forest

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.

Mortimer Forest

Highlight • Trail

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.
