What to see

Top trails: 

  • Herefordshire views red trail at Brockhampton: Enjoy sweeping views across the county and beyond, to Bringsty Common, the Clee Hills, Cotswolds and Malvern Hills. This short walk takes you on a circular route around the top of the estate, taking in the church, Park Pond and glimpses of what used to be the walled garden for the Georgian house.
  • Woodland walk green trail at Brockhampton: Explore the natural green space on a trail through the woodland with the family. The woodland was once part of the Leggett-inspired parkland. Some of the large older specimen trees were planted in the late 1700s as part of this re-design. Why not see how many native trees you can spot during your walk? Just remember to pop on your wellies, as the paths are very muddy at this time of year.
  • Orchard walk blue trail at Brockhampton: Explore the accessible paths through the young and old orchards, which are home to rare wildlife with something of interest in every season. Spring blossom displays give way to boughs laden with autumn fruit. Mistletoe thrives in the older fruit trees which can easily be seen in winter. This 1½-mile return walk is a treat for the senses whatever time of year you visit.
  • Parkland walk yellow trail at Brockhampton: This is a challenging but enjoyable walk around the Brockhampton estate's Grade II-listed parkland. The many veteran trees here are home to a variety of wildlife, while work has been carried out around the lawn pool to open up some of the original views to and from the Georgian mansion house.
