Abstract:		 Herefordshire Archaeology was hired by The National Trust in order to record the course, nature, and extent of a series of paths, walks and carriage-rides which exist within Fishpool Valley on the Croft Estate. The National Trust has begun the management of areas within Fishpool Valley with the aim of the partial restoration of areas within it to a post medieval landscape park. The carriage-rides, paths and walks were an intrinsic part of this designed landscape. The National Trust have expressed an ambition to understand the layout of these route-ways and if practicable open some lengths of them as way-marked walks. The survey identified twelve lengths of route-way which survive as earthworks within Fishpool Valley. These appear to contour around the valley sides at different heights in order to benefit from a diversity of viewing points taking in either landscape views or overlooking specific features and buildings. Whilst many of the route-ways were found to have been cut by later features, e.g. quarries, some survive for considerable distances and could be reinstated as walks accessible by visitors. The re-opening of some lengths of route-ways, particularly through areas where the Trust has begun the restoration of the pre 19th century park would greatly enhance the experience of walking through and understanding the subtleties of the form and design of Fishpool Valley. This survey has highlighted the subtle complexity of the designed landscape features within the base of Fishpool Valley which in order to understand better will require further research.
