Hidden a quiet part of Little Birch village, the brickwork of Higgins' Well dates from the early 19th century. Some improvements were added later, including a large pool as an animal trough for use during Victoria's diamond jubilee. Higgins Well has long been an important and unfailing supply of water for the village. A local legend about the well, as told on http://www.visitoruk.com/Hereford/little-birch-C592-V11335.html runs as follows: "The original outlet for the waters of the well was in a meadow at the top of the steep bank which rises above the present well. The owner of this meadow became so annoyed at the trespasses of the villagers across his land to the well that he had it filled up. However, shortly afterwards, while smoking his pipe in the great chimney corner of his house, he was startled by a sudden eruption of water under his feet." "To his untutored mind, the waters forcing this new outlet were a sign that the guardian spirit protecting the local people's rights was asserting itself. To appease this spirit, but determined not to reopen the well, he moved down to the present site and started to dig. In due course water began to bubble up through the underlying rock and, miraculously, the inrush in the chimney corner disappeared. The water spirit was obviously satisfied that water was once again made available to the people. This "act of contrition" resulted in local immortality for Mr Higgins."

This mile long avenue of Scots Pines and Yews was created by Sir Thomas Watkins, owner of Monnington Court to celebrate becoming a member of parliament in 1641.

25%climb to get to the top. Lots of bridleways with beautiful views.

Historical place, tales of King Offa beheading King (saint) Etheread. This iron age hillfort has only recently received funds to protect these ruins as it has suffered neglect and used as a dumping ground between 1950 to 1980s. https://historicengland.org.uk/whats-new/in-your-area/midlands/sutton-walls-hillfort/

Burton Hill is a trig pointed summit near Hereford in England. Burton Hill is 294 metres high and is a UK listed Marilyn.

Amazing for a gravel bike or MTB. Might get “sticky” in the wetter months.

Don't do this on a road bike like me, not a good idea, very nice walk though!

Packed bridal ways, tapering off into grassy bridal ways. Lovely cycle through apple orchards.
