Anthony Legge, a Herefordshire farmer’s son, had one mission; to promote and deliver the highest quality produce to Herefordshire and beyond. Now employing thirty local members of staff, who are dedicated and meticulous in everything they do, Legges has undoubtedly become one of the “go to” places for quality.
Our commitment to Herefordshire is strong and something we value immensily and is at the forefront of everything we do. The Legge family has roots deep in our beautiful countryside, which has driven us to make sure everything we do is done properly, with passion and respect. We seek to act as custodians for our countryside, and support all involved in helping us do so.
Worcestershire’s award winning Orchards & Farm Shop. Housing a Farm Kitchen & Country Store.
Established in 1910, Broomfield’s started from humble beginnings as a small 4-acre orchard in Bromsgrove, growing only a few varieties of heritage apples.
Having endured two World Wars, Broomfield’s moved to its site in Holt Heath, Worcestershire. It was here in 1973, where Maurice Broomfield set up Broomfield’s Farm Shop - selling locally grown produce of the highest quality directly to the public.
We are still very mindful that growing quality homegrown fruit sets the foundations for Broomfields to flourish. Broomfields of Holt continues as a family-run business, embodying the spirit of British fruit growers. Purveyors of the utmost quality.

Walking
The Bromyard Downs covers 114 hectares of common land and has long been known locally as the Jewel of Herefordshire and with good reason. This vast expanse of land, which formed part of the ancient Manor of Bromyard, offers gentle climbs, ancient woods, impressive views and an abundance of nature. It’s easy to access all year round and is directly connected to both Bringsty Common and the Brockhampton Estate. And yet it still feels undiscovered. On any given day, watching the sunset from this spot can feel like a private show of nature’s best.
The Downs has long been associated with agriculture as well as leisure. You can still see the signs of the old drovers paths - the routes that drovers used throughout Britain to take their livestock to market. On the Downs, you’ll find the cobbled cart pond and ‘halfpenny field’ where drovers would have been charged half a penny per animal to let them graze or stay overnight.
There are even traces of the racecourse that was once here, along with a bowling green, rifle butts and two underground bunkers that were built in the adjoining Warren Wood in case of invasion during the Second World War.
As for refreshments, there are picnic benches along the minor road which cuts through the common land and next to the main car park is the Royal Oak pub with plenty of outdoor seating.
