Mortimer Country lies in North Herefordshire, in the rolling hills and valleys between Ludlow and the Welsh border.

Interspersed are a series of traditional English villages, many of which still support self-sustaining communities. Churches and castles abound, be they ancient ruins like Wigmore, Stapleton and Brampton Bryan or National Trust preserved properties such as Croft Castle, while the Mortimer Trail and its adjoining loop walks offer days of walking through unspoilt countryside.
