Starting from the bustling centre of Ludlow, the walk crosses the river and climbs into the mixed woodland of Mortimer Forest. The route follows short sections of the Mortimer Trail and then other marked trails within the forest.

Dropping down into the seclusion of Mary Knoll Valley, you return to Ludlow via another bridge over the river.

Ludlow itself is a very attractive market town with historical buildings in practically every street, an imposing castle and a reputation for good food and drink.
