The remnants of a much bigger forest, high on a hill. Very atmospheric place.

Seeing the remains of Offa’s Dyke ancient earthwork is a highlight of walking the Offa’s Dyke Path between Kington and Knighton. Offa’s Dyke was constructed over 1200 years ago. The original earthwork is thought to have had a height of 8 feet and a width of up to 65 feet (including its flanking ditch). Despite weathering over the centuries its form remains surprisingly clear in places. A location where the remains of the Dyke is still clear occurs two miles north of Kington on elevated farmland near to the Wales border. Here the Dyke appears as a grassy mound with a ditch to its left (when viewed looking westward). It was inspiring and a great adventure to walk in the footsteps of history! A bonus of visiting this elevated site is that it provides on clear days fine eastward views across Herefordshire to the Malvern Hills 30 miles away.

Stunning views from the top of the Crofy Ambrey Iron Age Hill Fort, a perfect place for a picnic. We combined and followed two of the National Trust walks starting from Croft Castle (we found the walks very well sign posted) This view is from the 'Croft Ambrey Walk' and takes you through the fort and its ramparts.

Although originally made up of ancient royal chases and deer parks, the forest we see today was largely planted by the Forestry Commission in the 1920s. It was named after the Mortimer Family, Norman Lords who held power over the region for some 300 years.

The black and white village of Weobley was once a thriving medieval market town. Today it's a sleepy Herefordshire village but has plenty to see, with a range of historical buildings, and hints at its Saxon and Roman past. The Green Bean cafe and deli is ideal for a coffee or picnic supplies and opens Tues-Sat 0930-1500.

Lovely village with variety of pubs, cafes and shops

Weoble's wobble but they don't fall down! (You have to be of a certain age to understand that!)
