Midwinter Mortimer Trail

The MMT Ultra is a mere 30ish mile mixed trail/field/road run. The route takes you through the Marches of England, with extensive forests, limestone tops and gentle pastures in an area dominated in mediaeval times by the Mortimer family, one of the most powerful Norman earldoms. It follows a succession of hills and ridges with some strenuous climbs, crossing the valleys of the rivers Teme, Lugg and Arrow, taking in the Mary Knoll Valley, the High Vinnals, Orleton Common, Croft Ambrey and Wapley hill fort, whilst meandering through a number of villages. The Trail starts in the entrance archway of one of the finest medieval ruins in England, set in the glorious bustling market town of Ludlow, and meanders it's way through to the Herefordshire market town of Kington.

The Croft15 starts at the Riverside Inn, Aymestrey and follows the same route as the second half of the Ultra, finishing in Kington.
