Pokeshouse Wood NT woodland The National Trust have felled an old pine plantation and replaced it with native broad leaved woodland here recently. When I last walked here in late &#039;07 the plantation was mature but gloomy and dark. This lone fir tree has seen it all happen.

A ploughed field in Herefordshire Herefordshire has been blessed with a fine landscape adapted over many centuries for agriculture and it&#039;s always a pleasure to walk past its ploughed fields and admire its natural propensity for bounty, fruitfulness and rich returns.

Old stonework each side of the lane I assumed that this may have been an old bridge for a disused railway line but none is marked so I assume that it was once a gatehouse style arch associated with the Croft Castle estate. I didn&#039;t stop to investigate...

Path and track into Croft Wood The Forestry Commission sign requests no cycling but plenty of the track and softer grassy rides show horse riders frequently come here, which is a bit of a puzzle. Anyway, it is their prerogative.

A herd of Deer below Croft Ambrey A fairly common sight in the woodlands around this area, but rarely stationary out in the open fields. This herd comprising some 30 individuals grazed for ten minutes and moved slowly into shade. Later a Land Rover Discovery passed on a track and disturbed them and they vanished without trace.
