Ashton

Main Ditch The land north of Leominster was once marshy and prone to flooding. The clue, other than memories of floods, is the name Eye, which suggests an island. There is a network of drains which feed this watercourse, The Main Ditch.

Berrington Hall from the courtyard This is the rear elevation of Berrington Hall taken from the courtyard. The Neo-Classical English country house designed for Thomas Harley by Henry Holland in the late 1770's. Today, under the management of the National Trust, it is such a great day out. Highly recommended.

The stable block, Berrington Court from the courtyard A most elegant and pleasing stable block. Understated, functional but impressive and in accordance with Neo-Classical principles. Imagine owning it and the quality horses or coaches and carriages it no doubt once housed.

Berrington Hall, near Leominster National Trust managed with superb rooms and informative volunteer guides. The story of the house and its successive resident families the Harleys', the Digbys' and the Cawdors between the 1780s and the 1950's is riveting and compelling. Then there is the gardens, the grounds, the lake, the views. Or the shop, the tea room and various events throughout the year.

Part of the walled garden at Berrington Hall in July OK it's a bit Highgrove but an interesting garden, very English and lovely to amble through on a July afternoon in between rain showers and bursts of sunshine.

Part of the walled vegetable garden at Berrington Hall The vegetable gardens here are quite extensive. The volunteers who work in the gardens enable the National Trust to sell the produce to the public and to use the veg in the menu for the tea room.
