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.

Beautiful Garden plenty to see and smell

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.

Beautifully kept National Trust gardens with plenty to see and enjoy. There are even hammocks onthe garden to have a break and plenty of benches.

The Georgian grandeur of Berrington Hall has been under the management of the National Trust since 1957 and its grounds are free to enter. Its gardens were the last landscape design of the celebrated 'Capability' Brown. Its island adorned lake, Berrington Pool is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest.

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.
