Hereford area

The City of Hereford straddles the banks of the River Wye and is the natural centre of Herefordshire life. Quite simply, it’s a wonderful place to take a break.

Mortimer Coutry

You couldn’t make Mortimer Country up. It’s a wonderful unspoilt area of north Herefordshire, nestling into the Shropshire Hills AONB and the Radnor Hills of Powys.

Leominster

Set in the heart of the Herefordshire Marches, Leominster sits halfway between Ludlow in Shropshire and Hereford at the heart of Herefordshire.

Kington

Kington in the North West of Herefordshire, is one of the five market towns of Herefordshire long with Leominster, Bromyard, Ledbury and Ross-on-Wye. Kington, bordering with Powys

Bromyard

There’s a good reason why Bromyard has earned the nickname ‘The Town of Festivals’. Bromyard, nestling between the two cathedral cities of Hereford and Worcester in the east of the Herefordshire.

Ledbury

Nestled at the foot of the Malvern Hills to the east of Hereford, Ledbury is a haven for poetry and culture. The area has seduced and provoked more than its fair share of notable Poets. It’s not hard to see why.

Ross-on-Wye

There’s no mistaking Ross-on-Wye in south Herefordshire as a market town. St Mary’s Church spire has shaped the skyline of Ross-on-Wye for over 700 years.

Wye Valley

The River Wye flows along the Anglo-Welsh border and from Mordiford, just south of Hereford, through the south of Herefordshire, the Wye Valley is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Symonds Yat

There are so many reasons to visit Symonds Yat in south Herefordshire. Bordering the Royal Forest of Dean to the south and lush agricultural pastures to the north.

Hay-on-Wye

Only the Dulas Brook separates Hay-on-Wye in Powys, Wales and its English ‘suburb’ Cusop, which is in Herefordshire.

Golden Valley

There’s almost something enchanted about Herefordshire’s Golden Valley as it winds its way sheltered between the Black Mountains and the banks of the River Dore.
