Taking a break in one of our holiday cottages in Herefordshire is the perfect antidote to the stresses and strains of city life. The countryside here is mainly farmland, a patchwork of field and meadows, and village life proceeds at a gentle pace. But there’s plenty to do if you’re feeling active. Walking, cycling and riding are all popular activities here and for the more adventurous there’s canoeing and rock climbing on offer.
This is also the perfect opportunity to explore the beautiful Wye Valley. Set in a limestone gorge and surrounded by dense woodlands, the valley is a haven for wildlife, some of it rarely seen outside the county. Or, for something different during one of our Herefordshire cottage holidays, why not take the cider tour?
There are also some delightful towns and villages to explore. The city of Hereford has an impressive cathedral, famous for the Mappa Mundi, showing the world as it was seen at the end of the 13th century. Ross-on-Wye is the main tourist centre for the area and has a number of lovely antique shops to browse, while the high street in historic Ledbury is lined with delightful timbered Tudor houses.
