Albyfield Plantation is a historic site located in Cumberland, a town in the Wood Forest region of England. The plantation, dating back to the 17th century, is a significant landmark that provides a glimpse into the area's rich history.

Situated amidst lush greenery, Albyfield Plantation covers a vast area and is known for its well-preserved architecture. The main house, a magnificent example of Georgian style, stands tall at the center of the estate. The house features grand columns, large windows, and intricate detailing, showcasing the opulence and elegance of its era.

The plantation was originally established as a tobacco farm, reflecting the prevalent agricultural practices of the time. Over the years, however, it transitioned into a self-sustaining estate, with various crops and livestock being raised on the premises. The estate's sprawling fields are now home to a diverse range of agricultural activities, including the cultivation of crops such as wheat, barley, and oats.

One of the notable features of Albyfield Plantation is its picturesque landscape. The surrounding woodlands provide a tranquil setting, attracting visitors who seek solace in nature. The forest area is abundant in native flora and fauna, making it a popular spot for hiking and wildlife observation.

Today, Albyfield Plantation stands as a testament to the region's agricultural heritage and serves as a reminder of the historical significance of Cumberland. It offers visitors a chance to explore the past and experience the beauty of the Wood Forest area.

The Trig Point on Cumrew Fell It is quite unusual to find a trig point so close to a wall. 
The whole of the top of Cumrew Fell is banned to dogs because the grouse shooters don't want their "fun" spoiled.
