Location - Little Thatch is positioned at the edge of Castlemorton Common and therefore has access to nearly 900 acres of common land providing excellent hacking for those seeking the ideal location for a property with enviable equestrian credentials. Castlemorton Common was once part of the vast royal hunting grounds of the Malvern Chase. King James I split up much of this hunting ground (examples are Eastnor Castle Estate, Bromsberrow Estate) and Castlemorton Common is the largest remaining tract of unenclosed public land. Much of Castlemorton Common is today within a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and protected as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to some very rare fauna and flora living within its boundaries.
