Walking the Mortimer Trail in Shropshire, I passed through 'The
Warren' on the south side of Wapley Hill SO 346621.

I'm not very familiar with trees in the UK, but thought the deciduous
plantation flanking the path was beautiful and would like to know what
kind of trees these are. Beech, lime?

Check out the Forestry Commission website: www.forestry.gov.uk

or to get to the relevant page directly like this:

Go to Google images and put 'Wapley Hill' into the search box.

(I don't use Tiny as I can't get my head around it! / rarely works with me)

Go to the 3rd image on the top row, which shows a bloke sat at a wooden
bench.

Click on that image and the Forsety Commission page for Wapley Hill will
come up...

where it says:

'This trail takes the walker through young douglas fir plantations, beech
avenues and forest glades and up to the Iron Age hill fort. In April and May
the bluebells are a real show.'

I would bet the trees you remarked on are indeed Beeches, as they are
particularly attractive in early spring when they have fresh, pale green
leaves.

NB if you put Mortimer Trail in the search box on this page, ity will
'confirm' that this is the correct Wapley Hill as it brings you back to
this page.

The trail must be in both Shropshire and Herefordshire... or you may have
got the county wrong.

Regards,

Keith
