unrated)About Whitcliffe Loop
This trail runs within an area of the forest called 'Evens' and provides the walker with good views down Mary Knoll Valley and beyond.
Once an ancient woodland the trees are now mostly douglas fir and larch however the Forestry Commission intend to revert the area to native, broadleaved trees over the coming decades through a programme of felling, natural regeneration and replanting.
There are five benches along the trail.
How to get there:
Whitcliffe Loop can be started from Whitcliffe Car Park in Mortimer Forest which is part of The Marches. Ludlow is the nearest town or village.
Approximately 1 mile off the B4361 just outside Ludlow. Follow the brown signs for the Forestry Commission.
