Brockhampton Estate
Recommended by
Overview
In the heart of a traditionally farmed estate, surrounded by a moat and approached through a timber-framed gatehouse, Lower Brockhampton is a fascinating 600-year-old manor house. Until recently only a few of its rooms were open to visitors but now you can explore the whole house, the most impressive room being the cruck-framed Great Hall, with its stairs and gallery. The grounds are truly amazing – 687-hectares (1,700-acres) of farmland featuring rare breeds such as Hereford cattle and Ryeland sheep, ancient woodland, sculptures and a Lawn Pool. There is local produce on sale in the Old Apple Store tea-room, where you can settle down to a delicious cream tea, and the Granary shop sells gifts, award-winning preserves and home-reared beef from the Brockhampton Estate.

About the area
Herefordshire is split in two by the River Wye which meanders through the county on its way to the Severn and the sea. Largely rural, with Hereford, Leominster, and Ross-on-Wye the major towns and cities, its countryside and ancient villages are the county’s major asset.
