Herefordshire stretches from the beautiful Wye Valley with its dramatic cliff scenery to the remote hills along the Welsh Marches.Taking in the rivers Lugg and Kenwater, small villages and stunning countryside on the way.

Central to Leominster is the magnificent Priory, one of the oldest in Britain dating back to 660AD. Steeped in history,you can see the last ducking stool to be used in England in 1809 . Going back to Saxon times Leominster was given its name by Earl Leofric husband of Lady Godiva.

Leominster is an old wool town famous for its trading in the Ryelands sheep and many of the medieval buildings and features remain today. With its narrowing streets and abundance of black and white timber framed buildings now housing an array of shops it is well worth a visit. There are plenty of cafes/restaurants providing local food for that well earned rest. And maybe a glass of Herefordshire Cider!
