Mortimer Trail

Ludlow, with its beautifully preserved black-and-white half-timbered buildings clustered beneath a huge castle, is one of the most picturesque towns in England. The castle was a stronghold of the Mortimers, powerful Marcher Lords who were given vast estates along the Marches or Border Country of England and Wales by William the Conquer in return for guarding the frontier. Beginning at Ludlow the ‘Capital of the Marches', the Mortimer Trail crosses the peaceful, unspoilt hills and valleys of the Marches to the Saxon town of Kington on Offa's Dyke, which marked the border with Wales in Medieval times. Delightful little villages, ruined castles, medieval battle sites, Iron Age hillforts, glorious views stretching from the Black Mountains of Wales to the majestic Malvern Hills and a wide variety of wildlife including fallow deer, kingfisher, buzzard, woodpecker, dipper and skylarks add to the interest of this splendid walk.
