Mortimer Forest

According to Forestry England, it is a remnant of the ancient Saxon hunting forests of Mocktree, Deerfold and Bringewood.

Remains of this 'ancient battleground' include a castle mound that was owned by powerful Marcher lords, who had considerable fortified bases at Wigmore and Ludlow.

Mortimer Forest is located on the county boundary of Shropshire and Herefordshire, in the West Midlands region of England.

Multiple patches of Mortimer Forest were together designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in 1992.

[3] Mortimer Forest is owned by Forestry England, which has done a number of things to facilitate tourists, including a website, signage, picnic tables, car parks, and laying out walking tracks for different fitness abilities.
