Woodland, Wheathill
Image: © Richard Webb Taken: 5 May 2012
High level arable land in the Clee Hills beside a small wood. Modern maps show the site of one of the many lost villages of the Clees to be near here. What happened to cause the wholesale depopulation of these hills and those around Bromyard and Leominster? Wool price collapse, plague, Little Ice Age, clearance?
