Ludlow Parkrun

Ludlow has one of the toughest parkruns in the UK, so if you're looking for a Saturday morning challenge then head on down to Monstay. Our campsite is opposite the course start, meaning you can get the maximum lie-in (or extended warm-up) on a Saturday morning before the big event. We're only 5 minutes walk, so pitch your tent, strap on your running shoes and use us as a base for that big PB!

Mortimers Forest

Walking - Monstay is surrounded on all sides by the ancient Mortifers Forest. There is direct access from the farm to miles of footpaths and bridleways within the forest which are perfect for all walking abilities, including dogwalking and horse riding.

Mountain Biking - The farm is just 500m from the Bringewood championship-grade downhill course. Along with many other mountain biking courses in the forest, the Bringewood course is free and open all year round to the public. On certain weekends there is an uplift service (see Pearce Events for more information.
