High Vinnalls Ludlow Walk
2.5 miles (4 km)Climb to this wonderful viewpoint on this circular walk in Mortimer Forest in Ludlow. It's a challenging climb with the High Vinnalls viewpoint reaching a height of over 1200ft.... From the high points there are fabulous panoramic views over the surrounding Herefordshire countryside.
This walk uses part of the Mortimer Trail long distance footpath. It starts at the High Vinnalls car park but you could start from Ludlow and follow the Mortimer Trail through the Mary Knoll Valley to reach the hill. To extend your walk you could follow the trail south to Croft Ambrey Hill Fort and woods.
You'll also find the magnificent Croft Castle surrounded by 1500 acres of parkland, farmland and woods. Just to the east of the hill you will also find Overton Common and a deer park.
The Climbing Jack Trail is a circular walk through the forest which climbs to High Vinnalls.

Pubs and More Info
Just a few miles to the west there's the worthy village of Leintwardine to visit. There's some nice river trails along the Teme and the Clun which converge at the former Roman settlement. There's also a historic ancient bridge and two fine old pubs to investigate afterwards. Near here there's also the noteworthy Downton Gorge. The limestone gorge is located on the River Teme and contains some nice woodland trails with interesting rock formations and a variety of flora and fauna.
Just to the north west of the car park there's Bringewood. Here you can access a number of decent red and black mountain bike trails which have been used for the National Championships.
