- All three of these villages are in the north of the county, although Yatton is really no more than a hamlet. It should also be noted that this Yatton shouldn’t be mixed up with the other Yatton in the SE of the county
At Leintwardine there is the confluence of the Rivers Clun and Teme - thereafter becoming the River Teme as it heads off towards the very impressive weir at Bromfield and on to Ludlow. At Leintwardine I took the opportunity to go for a stroll over the nearby Church Hill, which has excellent views westwards over the village and towards the Shropshire Hills
Wigmore lies 3 to 4 miles further south and the main purpose of my journey was to revisit the castle, which for the English had significance during the 13th and 14th centuries. It is a castle which was held by the Mortimers - your archetypal Marcher Lords. Whilst not really accessible to those a little frail or with impediment, it does have fine views eastwards over Wigmore Moor to the hills
Yatton was barely 2 miles further south and for which I wished to climb up Yatton Hill. The views here are excellent to the N, NW. W and SW and there is a pleasant group of trees for shade at the top, which was needed seeing as it was an absolutely scorching hot day. As I visited in late June 2019 there was an enormous amount of fern growing across the hillside Common - too much so in fact and it would be better to visit at a different time of year perhaps. At least the paths were clear!
Very close to Yatton (about 1m S as the crow flies) is Croft Ambrey, a National Trust property for those so inclined to visit

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you.
The locals are so lucky to live there....I'm jealous
You're right. Lovely sleepy villages
I used to turn off the A49 at Ludlow in order to pass by this way - beautiful all the way to Hereford
Hello, my Husband was born in Ludlow and moved to Leintwardine at the age of eighteen months. His parents, Mr and Mrs Faulkner ran the local shop in the hight street. He so enjoyed your upload of Leintwardine especially the bridge where heand hisbrithers played. One of his brothers became a builder of Coracles and spent many hours exploring the Teme.
Thank you for giving my husband such joy.
We now live in Eastbourne East Sussex.
Thanks Christine. I've looked out for coracles, but alas have never seen them
Perhaps your husband has seen this film ....
'The River Teme burst its banks and floods after a huge Autumn storm'
It's by Lakazure on YT and he has other similar ones there too
Looks distinctly awkward to live there at such times!

My husband used to go to school with Lukazures Mother.
Peter has just retired, ageing bones etc.
Thanks James. There's even more of the county I ought to be revisiting, or seeing for the first time
