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.

Beautiful castle but didn't get to go inside

Didn't see a fish

Beautiful place to visit lots of wildlife

An interesting find and a good place for a break

It's like a close up view of croft but further away

That's what it is! I thought hobbits where about again

I hope the other 4 corners don't get jealous

Does what it says on the tin walk through

Wild ruins of a Norman castle

Gorgeous little gem of a National Trust, lots to explore and walk around and the gardens are dreamy.

As well as being a marvellous little woodland to explore, Pokehouse Wood has some beguiling folklore attached to it. It is thought that 'Poke' is derived from 'Puck', the up-to-no-good imp of English legend. In days gone by, Pokehouse Wood grew a reputation for travellers and young maidens losing their way or being led astray by something, or someone, that lived among the trees. In order to warn travellers when dark was approaching, the bell at Aymestrey Church was rang before sunset every day. This was at the behest of a concerned local who donated his own money to make this happen and protect the people.

On the banks of the River Lugg, nestled deep in the heart of North Herefordshire's Marches, is the lovely village of Aymestrey. This is an ideal base for exploring the hilly woodland of the Mortimer Forest and the wider Welsh Marches region. To the north east are Croft Ambrey's Iron Age earth embankments and to the west are the wooded flanks of Mere Hill Wood. There's a choice of accommodation in the village, with the 16th-century, black and white timbered Riverside Country Inn boasting excellent food as well as cosy rooms. There are also lodges and a holiday park in the village, as well as further options in the surrounding countryside.

See the castle in all of its glory from the green out front.

Nearly missed this gem after walking around the local estate, worth a visit to see the gorgeous walled garden and views.
