Lower Calver Hill Farm

With several National Trust properties within driving distance, there’s always a way to shake up your itinerary with some history. The National Trust - Croft Castle and Parkland (25 minutes’ drive) is a historic setting for a walk if there ever was one, and the same can be said for the country house grounds at the National Trust - Berrington Hall (half an hour). You might want to go for a peaceful potter around National Trust’s The Weir Garden (15 minutes), which was a Roman settlement way back. Hereford (25 minutes) also has its fair share of historical sites. There’s Hereford Cathedral, for one, and Mappa Mundi too, a medieval map which shows how the world was imagined back then. As well as having a farmers’ market, Hereford hosts festivals including the Hereford Walking Festival and Three Choirs Festival. Leominster (20 minutes) is another fine location with a farmers’ market and an abbey. Just leae some time for pony trekking in the Welsh hills (from around half an hour).
