National Trust - Croft Castle and Parkland

The walled garden here, with it's seating areas, large spaces and display of flowers is much nicer than the neighbouring property, Berrington Hall. There is some restorative work going on at the front of the property with scaffolding in place, but this is still a beautiful place. Tastefully furnished inside and with a great history tied into the Crofts military service. There are extensive and very well waymarked walks here in the vast parkland area. You could spend a whole day walking these trails. For the best views, take the path up towards the iron age Fort. But actually the best view across to Wales, Hay Bluff and the Beacons beyond is not actually from the top of this trail. The best view is from the top of the Hay field, before the tree line, about half way up. There is a nice cafeteria at the property with indoor and outdoor seating. Definately recommend a visit here, particularly on a fine day so you can make the most of the walks and the great views.
