Care has been taken to preserve and enhance the surrounding environment, by providing wild flower and natural woodland areas, so encouraging an abundance of wild life. This has been recognised by the number of awards received over the years, including the David Bellamy Gold Awards for conservation every year since 2005!

Nestling amongst the scenic woodland slopes at the foot of the Malvern Hills, is the nearby historic Market town of Ledbury, first noted in the Doomsday Book as Ledberge, an ancient settlement since the Stone Age and famous for its black and white buildings.

The countryside surrounding Ledbury is noted for its Hop Yards, Cider Orchards (including the traditional cider and perry products), and the world famous Hereford Cattle. In the springtime there is an abundance of wild daffodils and bluebells which grace many of the local woodland areas, quickly followed by the spectacular blossom of the orchards.
