レイントホールスタークスでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

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

You do get a view of the distant Welsh Hills from the summit, but you need to stand on the bench to get a good view as the trees are starting to grow and block it out.

An absolute delight to stay and dine at this lovely Inn. The staff were amazing and we both said it was the best Sunday dinner we'd ever had with local produce and beautiful tasty flavours. Not many places have nettle cake on the menu for dessert with clotted cream ice-cream yum yum. If your ever in the area I couldn't recommend dining here enough.

a lovely little castle themed play area. Great for little ones

Croft Castle is a 17th-century castellated manor house set within formal gardens. There's a working vineyard, orchards and walled garden, along with 1,500 acres of parkland, woodland, farmland and even an Iron Age hillfort. National Trust members/paid entry to the main site but public footpaths, including the Mortimer Trail, weave throught the surrounding countryside, offering wonderful running.

Although originally made up of ancient royal chases and deer parks, the forest we see today was largely planted by the Forestry Commission in the 1920s.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.

Beautiful castle but didn't get to go inside
