린탈 스타크스 주변 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

The remnants of a much bigger forest, high on a hill. Very atmospheric place.

Having walked along a broad track, the way takes a right fork onto a less defined path. You need to take this right fork as it does lead directly to the summit.

really steep section downhill after this

Definitely a delightful path up to the fire road.

An absolute delight to stay and dine at this lovely Inn. The staff were amazing and we both said it was the best Sunday dinner we'd ever had with local produce and beautiful tasty flavours. Not many places have nettle cake on the menu for dessert with clotted cream ice-cream yum yum. If your ever in the area I couldn't recommend dining here enough.

Such a pretty way up.

stop and smell the wild garlic whilst listening to the rapids

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.

Although originally made up of ancient royal chases and deer parks, the forest we see today was largely planted by the Forestry Commission in the 1920s. It was named after the Mortimer Family, Norman Lords who held power over the region for some 300 years.

Beautiful castle but didn't get to go inside

Didn't see a fish

Pretty little bridge over the River Lugg

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

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.
