Trust properties: Awnells Farm
This 220 acre grassland farm has an abundance of wildlife habitat and is situated amongst some of Herefordshire's most beautiful countryside.
The farm has a closed herd of traditional Hereford cattle with an ancestry that dates back over 170 years. A wonderful orchard includes many old cider apple trees, some of which are 300 years old, making this an especially important farm.
