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.

Hopton Castle refers to a village and a castle of the same name, hidden in the rolling Shropshire countryside between Craven Arms and Knighton. The castle itself has been a ruin since the 18th century, and is a wonderfully atmospheric place to wander around. Grade I listed, it's looked after by the Hopton Castle Preservation Trust, which has overseen recent restoration work and an appearance on Time Team in 2010.

Beautiful castle but didn't get to go inside

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

I hope the other 4 corners don't get jealous

Does what it says on the tin walk through

A little village that lies close to the boarder of Wales in the NW corner of Herefordshire. There is a castle but rarely open (scarecrow Sunday). It also has 16 building/ monuments that are listed on the National Heritage List. The white thatch cottages on the green, probably C17 to early C18. And the drinking fountain, mid C19. Cast iron. Fluted column with iron mask to front. It no longer works! Are just 2 of the 16. A remarkable lumpy free-form yew hedge dominates the village. At approximately half a mile in length is reputed to be the longest free-form or cloud yew hedge in England. Saving the best till last if it’s fresh coffee and homemade cake you like then don’t miss Aardvark Books. Closed on a Monday otherwise open from 10:00-16:00.

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

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.

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.
