Access
Three car parks on the edges of the forest. Marked trails ranging from 2 to 5 km are starting from every car park. The longest trail is the Climbing Jack Trail (marked on the map). This 14.5 km (9 miles) trail takes in the majority of Mortimer Forest. Passing through a variety of woodland types and habitats, this route provides the walker with superb views across the forest and surrounding countryside. Given the distance and terrain, this walk is designed for serious walkers with appropriate footwear.
