While in the area visit Mortimer Country.  Peaceful now, it was not always so. Once the medieval Marcher Lords, after whom Mortimer Country is named, were ruthless power brokers, making and breaking alliances with kings, and even seizing the English throne for themselves following the Battle of Mortimer's Cross in 1461.

For a perfect base from which to explore the area try Lower Buckton, a lovely Georgian country house above the River Teme,
and enjoy the best breakfast in the Midlands.  Click here to find out about it.
