A woodland circuit through the Lower Evens part of Mortimer Forest, starting at Whitcliffe visitor car park beside the Forestry England office. Follow the main forest track south, then take the path towards the Mary Knoll viewpoint. Continue around the southern woodland on tracks and paths before turning north through the trees to return to the car park. The walk starts in Shropshire and crosses into Herefordshire for part of the circuit.
Allow about an hour and forty minutes for the walking and a short pause at the view over Mary Knoll Valley. Expect steady slopes, unpaved forest tracks and narrower paths with exposed roots. Boots are useful after rain, when mud can make the descents slippery. Keep to the paths and give forestry vehicles room.
Parking is free, but this particular car park is currently open Monday to Friday, 8am to 3pm. Plan to finish before the gate closes and check Forestry England’s current opening information before travelling. Follow any work-site closures or diversions and keep dogs under control.
