brockhampton estate

I visited this building last year with my family and child it was a good day out a nice walk round the house which is kept very well . we stopped at the cafe and had a coffee and cake then we had a walk around the ground on one of their nature trails which are nicely kept with good pathways you need a good 3 or 4 hours to see everything properly so make the most of it and go and have a look.

A must see, such quaint & wonderful historic structures. We arrived on a wet day, bit it didn't make any difference. Brockhampton is well worth a visit. There are many paths to walk (some very steep) and lots of places to picnic on a lovely dry day. I will definitely return. Staff were also very friendly

In common with all the National Trust properties that we visited in our short tour based upon Herefordshire, we found everyone involved with the properties outstandingly friendly and helpful.This property is not a grand country pile, but a small moated farmhouse which whilst very attractive and very well presented. It is obvious that the greatest attraction with this property are the varied and numerous walks that wind through the estate, together with the excellent coffee available from the Pantry.

Had expected a big house but not as large as expected. I would recommend the mile walk down rather than driving as we did. The moat had just been cleared so perhaps not at its best. Had lunch in the old Apple store. Sausage and bean hotpot was very good.

I had not been since the house was fully opened to the public and, what a joy! You can now visit every room and each has been restored to a particular period in the house's history. More importantly, we get glimpses into the lives of labourers and servants as well as the gentry. What was once a 'spit and a cough' visit is now worth a whole day. The restored gate house and the ruined Norman church all add to the atmosphere of this wonderful NT property. It was also a cold, sunny winter's day and so we had fabulous views across the landscape as far as Clee Hill in Shropshire.

This is a great place to take children and/or dogs. There are plenty of walks and cafes at the top and bottom of the estate. During the year there is always something going on.

We only live two miles away in Bromyard and always bring family and friends here. This is a gem, in the jewel-like setting of the Herefordshire - Worcestershire countryside. There is always something ' new' to see - or learn here. Lower Brockhampton is probably the most picturesque place in England and visitors are made very welcome by the friendly guides.

This is an absolute gem tucked away in a valley in the Herefordshire countryside.The property is owned by the National Trust. The upper car park has the usual facilities ie cafe & loos. There is a winding narrow road down into the valley & ultimately to the lower car park. There are also marked routes for walkers.From the lower car park it is just a few steps to the wonderful medieval half-timbered gatehouse. This leads to the manor house which has a moat & the remains of a Norman Church. The manor house has been beautifully restored after being used as a farm house. There are refreshment facilities as well as a gift shop & second hand book shop. It is well worth a visit.

The Brockhampton Estate has a long agricultural history and its expanse is covered by several colour-coded walks devised by the National Trust (who took over the estate just after WW2).However, the attraction at the heart of the estate is a moated manor house that was built around 1400. The estate-owning family moved to a posh new building in the 18th century (not open to the public) and after that the manor house was used by a succession of farmers. Therefore the manor house is modest in scale and decoration. It is, however, well worth seeing. The half-timbered gatehouse and the moat make it a photographer's dream, while the interior fascinates with a series of rooms reflecting different points in the building's long history.On arrival, the estate can seem somewhat confusing. It has two car parks: one is near the manor house and the other one quite far away up a hill (although this is actually the first car park you come to from the A44). In addition, the colour-coded walks are only meant to be tackled in one direction, so choosing to do one thing can mean restricting other opportunities. This means that you need to consider carefully what you want to do before you start and it may be advisable to consult one of the NT volunteers.

We visited on sunday a lovely sunny day with warm breezes. The trees were shedding their leaves and we had fun foraging for chestnuts.Great time in lovely surroundings. Perfect for country walks in truly beautiful setting.

Very interesting old timber framed manor house dating back to the early middle ages with original moat house. Plenty of interest to see and guides available telling of its inhabitants and history. Run by National Trust so no fee if members. As well as the buildings there is a large estate to wander round. This itself is well worth seeing. Local produce for sale.

Well this is the oldest place we have been thus far and was a lovely day, which always makes trips out better. So, first tip is to drive down to the house as it does not look much of a walk but trust me on the way back the hill looks like Mount Everest! The drive did not detract from the pleasure and experience that awaits you.Lovely Timber framed House with tons of history and set by a lovely pond and ruined chapel. If you like photography then lots of opportunities here.Staff very informative and willing to tell you about the history of the house. Touch the doors and feel the wood (where allowed) and you are touching history and just imagine the person who made that door, hinge or gate and how beautifully designed it is and then think it is 600 years old!Well worth a few hours wondering around so do go and lets see your reviews on trip.

The lovely little moated manor house on this estate is set in beautiful peaceful surroundings. It was so nice to be able to see over the whole house and not just some rooms. It started life as a Manor House and became a tenanted farm. The rooms themselves are arranged in the time of various people who lived there, starting with a 16th century Great Hall and ending in a 1950's sitting room. There is a potted history in each room of the person in whose time the room is set. A really interesting way to display a house that has been home for different people over hundreds of years. The gardens are lovely and the whole grounds around the house are very well kept.Very small shop attached to a small cafe but both very nice. There is a larger cafe elsewhere on the estate which serves light lunches. We enjoyed a yummy jacket potato with bacon and brie - not too much in the way of filling but it did come with a nice salad. The ladies we encountered in both of the cafes were very pleasant, as were the guides in the house.We didn't do the walks round the estate but maybe next time we will.

The old farmhouse took us back in time and is set in an enchanting spot. The hundreds of years of residence is demonstrated with rooms set in different periods. Details about the people added a personal touch. The guides are friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed well marked walks in the beautiful estate. A well thought out experience.

Earlier this year they opened up another six rooms at this National Trust house and it has turned an interesting visit into a very interesting visit. This is not your grand,"how the other half live" type of house but a working farmhouse which you can imagine that you might have lived in. Each room is themed to a certain period in the house's history and the 1950's room even smelt like my Grandma's home.We walked down from the top car park to the house then toured the house and walked back - each stage took about 45 minutes plus the stop for a cup of tea at the cafe at the bottom.This was an excellent afternoon.
