High Vinnalls is a hill in the English county of Herefordshire, though commonly considered a member of the Shropshire Hills. It is located in the parish of Pipe Aston, near the town of Ludlow, and is covered by Mortimer Forest (and ancient hunting forest).
The Mortimer Trail runs for 30 miles (48 km) between Ludlow and Kington and passes over High Vinnalls.[2]
Before the Norman Conquest of 1066, High Vinnalls marked the western edge of the manor of Richard's Castle.[3] The Mortimer family were then the Norman lords of the region for around 300 years.[4]
