Weobley to Pembridge
This walk takes in some of Herefordshires famous black & white villages, linked together by gentle strolls along quintessential country lanes and across picturesque green farmland. It's a route not to be rushed, make sure you plan in pit-stop time and and explore each village (even if it's just for a quick pint!).
Don't Miss
Weobley
The Castle, a motte and bailey, thought to have been built soon after the Norman conquest. The impressive church of St Peter and St Paul, with the second tallest spire in the county. Traditional Tudor buildings aplenty, look out for the ‘heritage trail’ signs dotted around the village. Head to the brilliantly named and newly opened Wobbly Badger Cafe, 17th Century New Unicorn pub, Ye Old Salutation Inn or Green Bean Cafe (a favourite of cast and crew during Hamnet filming) for refreshment before setting off.
Dilwyn
Exquisite examples of half-timbered buildings, the oldest of which is thought to be Church House, a cottage dating back to the 14th century. St Mary the Virgin Church, a Grade I listed building which dates back to the 12th century and still features some surviving elements of Norman design.
Eardisland
Thatched examples of black & white houses. Stand on the bridge to see the Old School House (complete with whipping post!) and the Manor House. Pop into the community shop in the unusual 17th-century riverside dovecote. There’s a moated castle mound and an impressive medieval church too. Don't miss Rita's Tea Room for a mid-way sugar-hit.
Pembridge
Timber-framed buildings line the main street of this vibrant, quintessentially English village with the house names giving away the buildings’ original uses. Seek out the 16th century Market Hall and amazing pagoda-style belfry at St Mary's Church. Peruse modern art & craft at Old Chapel Gallery. Enjoy delicious food at the nearby Cider Barn Restaurant or 700-year-old New Inn.
