Routes & Road Trips
Experience Herefordshire’s hidden beauty by car or bike. Each route serves up a unique slice of our culture: explore cider country, uncover the story of ley lines or get to know our heavenly black and white villages.
Cider Circuits
Celebrate Herefordshire’s favourite thirst-quencher by taking one of our three Cider Circuits. Each route takes in beautiful countryside and calls in at artisan cider makers for tastings, tours and orchard strolls. With recommendations for places to visit, eat and relax en route. Designed for cyclists, the circuits work equally well by car.
The Watkins Way
Take a magical road trip through our ancient landscapes touring lost castles, remote churches, early hillforts and pre-historic stones. The Watkins Way explores far-flung corners of the county, revealing hidden histories along the way. The route commemorates the discovery of ley lines 100 years ago by local man Alfred Watkins.
Black & White Villages Trail
Tour our heavenly Black and White Villages, famed for their half-timbered architecture. Cycle the new bike trail along quiet country lanes to each characterful village or try the traditional driving route. You’ll find heritage delights, art galleries, cosy pubs and tea rooms, plus rivers to paddle in, places to picnic and delightful circular walks.
