Bridleway passing Garnons Hill

Not a great picture due to the sun having already set behind Garnons Hill on this January afternoon. The bridleway pictured here passes to the north-eastern side of Garnons Hill and emerges onto the B4230 at Mansell Gamage. This bridleway is the route of the Three River Ride, a route for horseriders.

Kitchen Garden, Foxley

'The walled kitchen garden (listed grade II; now Westmoor Gardens), probably early C19, lies outside the Yarsop Valley on the A44 Hereford to Kington road, c 750m south-west of the site of Foxley House. A two-storey, hip-roofed gardener's house stands at the centre of the north wall' - so says the National Heritage List.

St Lawrence, Bishopstone

At my last visit the West end was taped off as the belfry was deemed unsafe. It has since been repaired by someone who clearly knew what they were doing.

Site of a WWII military hospital, Mansell Lacy

Clearing in woodland at Mansell Lacy. The land in this valley was landscaped by Humphrey Repton in the 18th century, it was the parkland of nearby Foxley House which was built in 1717 for Baron Robert Price. During the Second World War the house and the valley were used as a military hospital by the Americans. Unfortunately due to the damage sustained during the war the house was demolished in 1948. The site of the temporary wartime buildings are Evident in the aerial picture SO4246 : Foxley Wood and Bache Wood: aerial 2018.
