The Grade II listed parkland is filled with veteran trees and offers sweeping views to distant hills. It's an actively managed / farming landscape and some of the sheep here are rare breeds.

Someone thoughtfully left a bucket of oats for this forest pony, who seems to have grazed all the surrounding grass.

The Leigh Brook (pronounced Lie locally), is a fine small river that drains the hills just to the north of the Malverns and flows down to meet the Teme to the west of Worcester.

The walk along the ridge under the trees is a delightful stretch of the way. I often use this for shorter dog walks too.

This is a delightful corner of Worcestershire. It is possible to do a circular walk along the bank of the Leigh Brook, and then back up the hill and through the woodland. Very pleasant way to while away of couple of hours or more!

Great place to visit. Mini hidden gem near the village of Alfrick. Not suitable for road cycling and cycling as a whole. But it's definitely worth getting dismounted and having a lovely walk around.

The Leigh Brook has cut a winding valley with steep woodlands and rich meadows. Look for grey wagtails and dippers on the brook and, during the winter months, listen for flocks of long-tailed tits and siskins in the brook-side alders. Dragonflies and damselflies thrive on the brook during spring and summer.

Big Meadow is a hay meadow with flowers such as knapweed, ox-eye daisy and yellow rattle together with a scattering of green-winged and common spotted orchids. Papermill Meadow is an old pasture on slightly more acid soil. This meadow is a favourite hunting ground for buzzards that breed in the valley. The much smaller Tor Meadow has orchids and cowslips. Butterflies frequent all three meadows and more than 30 species have been recorded here including common and holly blue, brimstone, purple hairstreak and white admiral. Each meadow is maintained by hay cutting and/or grazing.
