About Brinsop Court
Brinsop Court can accommodate and welcome any celebration, inside or out, in comfort and with style. Civil, humanist, inter faith and celebrant-led ceremonies have all been loved and enjoyed by previous guests in a variety of locations on the 800 acre Estate.
Geographically
Brinsop Court is in the hamlet of Brinsop, about 6 miles North West of the lovely old city of Hereford. To the West, we find the Welsh Borderlands and Marches.
This area is littered with fascinating history, lovely old black and white villages, such as Weobley, Pembridge, Eardisland, Eardisley and Almeley amongst market towns like no others, such as Leominster, Kington and Presteigne.
For breathtaking views try Hergest Ridge and Offa’s Dyke, or visit Hay-on-Wye and get to the gateway of The Breacon Beacons and the Black Mountains- it’s all so close!
Agriculturally
Immediately surrounding Brinsop Court you can freely enjoy a place not bothered by public footpaths. Be prepared to come across sheep, lambs, ponies, horses and the occasional tractor or combine… this is a working farm.
Woodland
250 acres of woodland- most of it ancient, containing a huge variety of different species of Fauna and Flora. Enjoy!
Walks
The 4 daughters of the owners all have a nominated walk. Follow the signs for Harriet, Alice, Molly or Florrie’s walks all together or individually to get the full benefit of your walking, outdoorsy time here at Brinsop. You are welcome to bring your dogs.
Treasure Trails
We have set up a Treasure Trail around the farm which every family member will enjoy. Leaflets and clues are available on request.
Clay Pigeon Shoots
These can be arranged with a local reputable person, all fully insured, guns provided and some tuition if required.
Stalking
It is possible, if a guest is interested, for us to arrange a day with our visiting Stalker. Our deer management is of the highest standard and John Thornley, OBE, our stalker, is a national authority on Woodland Wildlife Management.
Fishing
Our moat contains carp and trout. Guests are offered the chance to fish the moat for their supper- only 2 fish per person! A little further afield is Harlands Pool, which has shyer fish and offers more challenging sport. If you arrive without rods, we can lend you equipment.
Cycling
Guests are welcome to bring bikes, we have cycle racks at the manor house and there is ample room to store these by the cottages (please bring a lock).
