Walk 16 [7¼ miles] - Leintwardine & Mocktree
The long ascent out of Leintwardine
Unfortunately the weather wasn't very kind but we still had grand views looking back into the village before we arrived at the summit and began what turned out to be a long anti-clockwise tour. We crossed the Ludlow road at Mocktree. During our descent we spied a long red kite which slowly circled directly above us before heading east in the direction of Leintwardine. After lunch we resumed our descent and once again the red kite made an appearance, but not before we were given a thorough inspection by a flock of sheep.
Who are these strange people?
Eventually we crossed the Clungunford road and returned to Leintwardine alongside the Clun - a real treat to spot a dipper in the shallows on a bend in the river. Thanks to Mike and Beryl Starr for leading the walk - 7¼ miles took us 4 hours.
