To the west is the delightful village of Weobley where you can see the historic Norman church, several photogenic medieval dwellings and The Ley, a Grade-I listed farmhouse dating to 1589. The Black and White Village Trail can also be picked up here. This long distance footpath explores several of the towns and villages of the county.

Queenswood visitor centre. Victorian postbox in working order, but the telephone box is no longer working. This is the first view that you see from the car park. The well maintained exterior shows the care and thought that has been put into its creation.
