Having known A E Housman's cycle of poems "A Shropshire Lad" since I was at school (in the 1960s) I had long wanted to visit the Clee Hills - and see those "blue remembered hills" for myself. I was not disappointed - a fantastic view.

I was delighted to come across this market which excelled in a wide range of innovative food. I particularly liked a stall with a range of savoury croissants (camonbert and cranberries)and a tempting range of bread; bread layered with lasagne sauces ,.bread with onion and tomato fillings....mushrooms etc. Another stall had an amazing range of vegetarian..corn and spring onion cakes,sausages made with halloumi cheese and sun-dried tomatoes...vegetable pancakes made from courgette, potatoes, onions, apples and cheese. Another stall had a tempting range of homemade cakes.

This is a great little shop with a wonderful selection of cheeses. We particularly wanted to buy local cheeses and the lovely lady was very helpful. There are chutneys and pickles for sale too which are delicious. We couldn’t resist going back and buying a hand crafted oak cheese board there too, which we’re very happy with.

The extensive Mortimer Forest to the west of Ludlow is a great place to go for a hike, whether as a family, with friends or as a couple. There are car-parks and trails and the autumn colours make the area one of my favourite to visit at this time of year. There are fungi in the damp ground and you also come across eroded patches of rock which can be good for fossils; it's worth picking up a local fossil book from one pf the shops in Ludlow so you know what you are looking for and finding; a really great place for some simple exercise and to enhance your child's nature education.
