Haugh Woods Butterfly Trails are two short trails that meander the ancient woodland of Haugh Woods. The trails have been set up by Forestry England to allow everyone to enjoy the numerous butterflies and moths that live here. This is an important site for UK butterflies (we are in short supply!) and this woodland gives nearly 350 hectares or 850 acres for them to breed. There are about over 600 of both species living here!

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."

Holy Rood Church is a pretty parish church that is synonymous with the Mordiford Dragon; the legend of which has changed with the paintings of it in the church. Holy Rood has a 12th century core with a 13th century but was largely rebuilt in 1811 after flooding. It is Grade II-listed.

Beautiful viewpoint for a picnic or snack break. Views looking towards Dinedore Hill and Hereford to the Black Mountains.

Haugh Woods has 2 butterfly trails (of short distance) that provide a great route through the north and south of the woods, respectively. Good paths underfoot, and great butterfly habitat.

Capler Camp is a large Iron Age hill fort on Capler Hill overlooking the Wye Valley. Many of the ramparts and ditches are still visible today and you are afforded a lovely view from the fort. Excavations have revealed stone foundations on the site. Roman Coins plus artefacts from the Bronze Age and Iron Age have also been found.
