Mary Knoll
Mary Knoll
Looking across Sunny Gutter (Sunny Dingle) from Climbing Jack Common. The south facing Sunnyhill Bank has recently been felled and replanted, with a patch of surviving oakwood to Mary Knoll. This was the site of a 405 line VHF television transmitter which apparently never seemed to work well. The modern replacement is further down the Ludlow side of the hill.

High Vinnalls and Maryknoll are all part of the long limestone ridge running from Ironbridge to southern Radnorshire. Sunny Dingle is a deep valley which breaches the ridge, and was probably deepened by glacial meltwater or the overflowing lake that was situated over the modern Vale of Wigmore. It contains a misfit stream which joins the Teme just upstream of the Ashfords.
Bringewood :: SO4973
An ancient hunting forest on the Ludlow Anticlyne. Traditionally an oak forest, coppiced for charcoal it is now a commercial conifer wood. It is managed, but not entirely owned by the Forestry Commission.
The charcoal used to supply the iron smelters at Bringewood Forge.
Since the late 1970s the forest has been opened up to recreational use and is now quite busy, with a dense path network.
The forest carries a large herd of fallow deer including the long haired variety supposedly unique to Haye Park.

The town has a long history dating back to Norman times and has nearly 500 listed buildings LinkExternal link , including a castle and one of the largest parish churches in the country. The old town was a 13th century planned grid iron town surrounded by a wall, with seven gates (only one remains). There are many examples of Tudor, Elizabethan and Georgian buildings. Today Ludlow is a thriving Market town with a healthy tourist trade. Described as "The most perfect town in England" - John Betjeman
