Overview

A circular walk around the Richard's Castle Parish and Mortimer Forest.

We will be visiting St. Bartholomew's Church, Richards Castle and the 11th century castle ruins.

Hopefully we will see the magic carpet of bluebells on Climbing Jack Common before descending through Mortimer Forest to our cars.

Weather allowing there will be stunning views and magnificent display of Bluebells.

Hill climbing will be done at a pace to suit all.

Please bring food and drink for a short elevenses break and lunch stop.

Sorry no dogs allowed on this walk.
