LOWER BROCKHAMPTON

Brockhampton Estate and Lower Brockhampton The Brockhampton Estate, near Bromyard, is a National Trust Property. The estate comprises some 2000 acres (680 hectares) of farmland and ancient woodland, including some of the finest oaks in the country. Lying within the estate is a moated timbered farmhouse. The farmhouse is referred to as Lower Brockhampton. A narrow winding road, nearly 2 miles long, leads from the estate entrance to the farmhouse. In this picture, the road winds through woodland.

The road, from which the picture above was taken, winds down the hillside. The same road can be seen in the distance, as it approaches the farmhouse, which lies beyond the trees at the right, at the bottom of the valley.

The farmhouse lies within a moat. The moat can be crossed through the timbered gatehouse, at the left.
