Dist:0.2km north<br/>From the castle field looking northwards towards The Mount. The footpath is indicated by the stile and then crosses the next field for a meeting point of five public footpaths. The white house on the scarp slope in the distance is Deerfold Cottage.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>View north-east to the final row of cottages in the village. Despite the extensions, this cottage retains some character.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>View north from the churchyard to the porch. The stone parts of the tower and the benches date from the 16th century, but today's building is mainly as a result of the major renovation in 1891.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>View east from the entrance to this beautiful church, with plenty of snowdrops in the churchyard. The church dates from the 13th century but the original building fell into disrepair, to be replaced by a new church about the reign of James II, much of the old masonry being kept. http://www.lingen.org.uk/?page_id=53

Dist:0.3km north<br/>Not much to see except the motte and some other lower earthworks in a field north of the church. http://www.smr.herefordshire.gov.uk/castles/castlesdata_az/lingencastle.htm

Dist:0.3km north<br/>Water-filled depression west of the motte, which could be winter rainwater rather than a permanent pond. Mostly frozen over in this February view.

Dist:0.5km north<br/>View eastwards from near the road junction. This row of houses is clearly new build but at least some attempt has been made to keep the style in character with this pretty village.

Dist:0.5km south<br/>Lingen is largely a single street village. Here looking northwards from the bridge over the Lime Brook.
