If you want to avoid the city of Hereford, Ledbury is the next biggest place from the apartment in the opposite direction. A high street of independent shops, black and white buildings and historic pubs. Lovely for a relaxed shopping experience. You won't find any of the big names here. Except Boots!

Another beautiful town worth a visit with its black and white buildings and castle. The castle holds many events during the year from medieval gatherings to food and drink extravaganzas. On top of all that, the town market is very special, but check which days it's on.

Fancy something a bit bigger in your search for historic religious buildings the Tintern wins hands down. A beautiful site and breathtaking architecture get your mind buzzing wondering what the place used to be like. When you finished being blown away by its beauty and scale, have a cuppa in the tea room opposite. Open fires and cosy atmosphere.

Perton is a hamlet within Stoke Edith. A short walk from the apartment brings you into Stoke Edith with is church and beautiful houses. Stoke Edith House was burnt down many many years ago, but definitely had a history worth reading about.

Getting into Hereford
From the apartment you can drive into Hereford or get the bus at the end of the road. Through covid the bus is only running every 2 hours and there is no late buses. Check timetables.
You could get a taxi, but being out the city you're looking at £25+ each way and more after midnight.
