Cwmmau Farmhouse, near Kington in Herefordshire, was built in the 1600's, and has a wealth of history associated with it.

This Spring Bank Holiday weekend the National Trust's Archaeological Advisor, Jeremy Milln, is offering free guided tours looking at the evolution of the Farmhouse and the buildings around it.

Property Manager Dave Hughes says there's plenty for people to learn about the farmhouse.

"The 17th century black and white timber-framed farmhouse is a special place.

"It shows the development of an estate from the 17th century to the present day with many original features and buildings unaltered."
