In The Pink
Visit the Blossom County
This spring, plan a pretty staycation in Herefordshire, the blossom county. It’s a fleeting moment - only six weeks - but it is an unmissable springtime spectacle!
Thousands of fruit trees bloom with frothy clouds of pink and white petals, starting at the end of March. Perfect for picnics and afternoon ambles.
Our In The Pink guide features the best ways to enjoy the blossom:
- Come blossom chasing... see our weekly blossom updates
- Enjoy orchard tours & tastings at craft cider producers
- Walk and cycle along blossom-lined trails
- Pick up a picnic to eat al fresco
- Tour our blossom hotspots by car

Our county is one big orchard! We have over 15,000 acres of orchards, producing over half of the UK's cider. Every spring, thousands of fruit trees explode with delicate pink and white petals. Come to Herefordshire for an uplifting dose of Mother Nature's positivity.
Estates & Community Orchards
For blossom-filled walking trails and picnics under the trees visit our historic country estates and friendly community orchards.

Herefordshire is the spiritual home of apples and cider! Expect a warm welcome at our craft cider producers where you can wander orchards, take guided tours, learn how cider is made and sample delicious artisan tipples.
