WalkBrook House Woods is part of a 350 acre farm criss-crossed with paths running through woodland, orchards and along the river Frome. The Herefordshire Trail crosses the farm, Bromyard Downs and Bringsty Common offer beautiful walks from the woods, or hop in the car for 15 minutes and wander the Malvern Hills. Your accommodation will have maps of our favourite walks in the area.
Have a look at the Eat and Drink page for our recommendations of pub walks, or why not book a picnic lunch? A delicious, locally sourced lunch packed in a rucksack ready for the trails. |
SwimBodenham lake is a local nature reserve, great for taking a walk or going for a wild swim. This little known lake is usually deserted, leaving you to splash around to your heart's content or swim peacefully to the other side amongst the wildlife. Canoeing is great in this area with day long paddles from Hereford or Symonds Yat.

Ride We welcome horses, either stabled or turned out, from £10 per day. You will have access to the 350 acre farm, with off road rides through woods, up hills and across streams. There are brilliant hacks from the farm incorporating beautiful fields for plenty of cantering and pubs dotted along the route for dutch courage! The Malvern hills are a short box ride away for half day or day long circular rides. Why not book a picnic lunch? A delicious, locally sourced lunch packed in a rucksack ready for the trails.
