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.

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.

The scarecrow keeps the birds away apparently. The sunflowers here must be attractive to finches soon so I hope they aren't put off too much.

St Mary, Middleton on the Hill

Way off the beaten track, with a gorgeous 17th century house for a neighbour, this late Norman church is well worth seeking out.

War Memorial, Middleton on the Hill

No names are recorded on the memorial as Middleton on the Hill was one of the three Thankful Villages in Herefordshire, in that its sons and daughters went off to war in 1914-18 and 1939-45 and all returned safely. Knill and Pipe Aston shared this distinction with Middleton.

Middleton Farm

The house and gazebo complement the neighbouring church perfectly. The house dates from 1692 and is still very much a working farmhouse.

Parkland, Berrington Hall

The exit to the A49, which noisily bisects the arcadian Lancelot Brown masterpiece which is Berrington park. A very popular National Trust property, Berrington is as near perfect as English domestic architecture can be. Henry Holland was the architect.
