HEREFORDSHIRE& THE WYE VALLEY

A little bit hidden, a little bit unknown,come and be intrigued...

C9

EastWith over 58% of the Malvern Hills in Herefordshire it’s a great place with a sense of space. With 3,000 acres of open countryside to temptyou, pull on your walking boots and escape to the hills.

Known for its hop growing, the market town of Bromyard has its own character and history with just the right degree of bustle. Cider, ofcourse, remains one of our most important products. Ledbury is in the heart of cider and perry bounteous orchards which have providedthe raw materials for this drink for centuries. If retail therapy is your ‘bag’, Ledbury has a great range of small independent shops from vintage boutiques to stylish antiques to browse at your leisure, followed by some local refreshment – cider or locally produced beer ofcourse!

WestSilence is golden, and so too is the Golden Valley; the broad, fertilevale that separates Herefordshire from the Welsh hills. ExploreOffa’s offer along the Dyke, search out gardens and vistas and soakup the atmosphere in traditional local inns.

If you’re looking to burn off some energy try scrambling, climbingor mountain biking, or if you prefer something a little more leisurelytry walking with a Llama, a great experience for all the family.

South & The Forest of DeanThere is nowhere better to view and enjoy the River Wye than from this part of the county. Follow in auspicious footsteps (Wordsworth and JMW Turner) from Ross to Symonds Yat as it meanders its way below Goodrich Castle, one of the most complete medieval castles inBritain and with exhilarating views over the Wye Valley.

Join in or spectate, whilst sampling some of the local brew of course, with the canoeists, rafters, rowers and fishermen. Why not take the rope ferry at Symonds Yat and explore the footpaths of The Forest of Dean, enjoy an underground or treetop adventure – or if this allsounds too much then relax aboard a cruise boat in Symonds Yat as it takes you on a river trip.

Open 10am-4pm Tuesday-Saturday.
