A walk in Herefordshire with a new group. Starting from Fownhope. Initially following the River Wye for some distance, past Mancell's Ferry and acres and acres of potatoes. Then into Capler Wood for a coffee stop in the rain although it didn't last for long. Up the steeper bit to Brockhampton and through the valley with the history posts to All Saints church. A most unusual church built in 1902 but looking well weathered and much older. Along to near Capler Lodge for our lunch stop and an unusual picnic table. Over and through Capler Camp and into Paget's Wood before returning to Fownhope for a well earned ice cream. Just over 10 miles with 1265 feet ascent.

Mancell's Ferry
Past acres and acres of potatoes, but, this is Herefordshire where Tyrells crisps are made - could these be bound for the crisp packet?
