These are NOT oaks, which is clearly said on plaques, but Spanish Chestnut, possibly here since the Romans.

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.

These are like something out of the Lord of the Rings, towering above the landscape proudly.

Yatton Hill boasts some tremendous views of the Marches region as well as housing the ancient hillfort of Croft Ambrey. The fort is thought to have once covered over 2 acres (0.8 ha) of land and its earthwork ramparts can still be seen today. Excavations in the 1960s found various treasures, such as metal tools, Iron Age pottery and glass objects. Historians believe that between 500 and 900 people lived on the site.

A beautiful gorge where the River Teme cuts through a limestone ridge. The area is National Nature Reserve and a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It is one of the last remnants of the ancient Royal Chase of Bringewood, which once was a large part of the Welsh border region. Trees here include sessile oak, lime, ash and wych elm, whilst the ravine creates a humid microclimate, giving rise to various ferns, bryophytes, lichens and fungi.

Nestled in the rolling countryside of the Marches, Lingen is a pleasant little Herefordshire village. Like many in the region, it was home to a Norman motte-and-bailey castle. All that remains are the earthworks. There is a wealth of hiking potential in the surrounding wooded hills. Real ales, log fires and traditional home cooked food can be sought at the Royal George, the village's pub. It is worth noting that it is only open for lunches on Sundays.

Atop Wapley Hill at 1,050 feet (320 m) the remains of this Iron Age hill fort can be found among mixed woodland. The total site is spread over 6 hectares, with an entrance to the south and defences at a height over 5 metres. There's also a 33 metre deep ritual shaft believed to date back from the late Bronze Age.
