TCHT would like to thank all the hardy souls who turned out on New Years Day afternoon to participate in the Forging Ahead event. A bit mad, a bit extreme but in a world which seems full of increasing problems a little unadultorated fun. For TCHT it was a celebration of a year which saw the delivery of the first part of the Novers Project and the resurrection of the Clee Hill Games, the Ludlow Green Festival and a series of other smaller talks, walks and events all delivered by the small TCHT team. In 2012 we have plans to move the Novers Project into phase 2, to launch a walking for health group and a community wildlife group (in association with SHAONB and NTand hopefully a community archaeology initiative . TCHT will take a lead in the celebration of Ludlow and Clee skills past and present as part of the Ludlow Jubilee celebrations, launch a rural skills programme based in the Novers and on the hill and will again organise the Clee Hill Games (an antidote to the olympics). Watch out also for a major event on the hill in the late summer. The forward programme for the Trust will be shortly on the TCHT website, which is currently being re-designed.

TCHT wishes everyone a very prosperous, healthy and happy New Year.

Titterstone Clee is unique in being the only named hill to be shown on the 14th century map of the world "The Mappa Mundi" preserved in the library of Hereford Cathedral.

The aim of the Titterstone Clee Heritage Trust is to put Titterstone Clee back into it's rightful place.

By raising public awareness of it's rich natural history and heritage.

The prominent profile of Titterstone Clee shown on this ancient map is, and has been, a landmark of the Marches for as long as there have been people living in the hill country known today as South Shropshire. The prehistoric monuments that survive on the summit of Titterstone provide evidence of over 4,000 years of people being drawn to this high and windswept hill. In the middle ages Kings and Queens walked in its shadow as they moved between the castles and halls of this border land.
