Foxhalls Wood

Ancient oaks stretch their gnarled branches overhead while shafts of sunlight filter through the canopy at Foxhalls Wood, creating that dappled light photographers dream of. This proper woodland sits just outside Ledbury and feels wonderfully untouched - the sort of place where you might spot a red kite circling overhead or catch sight of deer picking their way between the trees.

Families with energetic children will find plenty of space to explore, though the terrain can be uneven in places so decent walking boots are wise. Dog walkers love it here too - there's enough room for hounds to have a proper run about without disturbing the wildlife too much.

The wood connects to several footpaths that wind through the Herefordshire countryside, making it ideal for longer walks if you fancy stretching your legs. Spring brings carpets of bluebells, while autumn turns the place into a riot of russets and golds.

Getting here from the nearby holiday parks is straightforward - Caplor Glamping & Lodges and White House on Wye Glamping are both within easy striking distance. Allow at least an hour for a decent wander, though you could easily spend half a day here if you're the type who enjoys bird watching or simply sitting quietly on a fallen log with a thermos of tea.
