History
Ludlow
Sure there’s the castle. And it’s a lovely castle. But that’s just one of the attractions of this absolutely gorgeous medieval town, around 30 minutes away.
Hereford
Our county town is stunning, situated on the River Wye with its ancient cathedral (which houses the Mappa Mundi and a chained library). A lovely way to spend a day.
Worcester
Just 20 minutes from the Admiral Rodney, Worcester was the site of the last battle of the Civil War and is home to a stunning riverside cathedral. Worcester warrants at least half a day exploring its history and enjoying its cobbled streets.
Croft Castle
From Edward the Confessor to Winston Churchill, the Croft family have been key players and confidantes to England's leaders since 1055. Their ancestral home is a stunning lace to visit.
Black & White Trail
The 40 mile circular trail leads west from the ancient town of Leominster, through a rich landscape of orchards, hopyards and distant hills, taking in the most picturesque black and white villages along the way.The villages are more than just pretty places to visit. Each one has its own character and community, with tea-rooms, shops, craft workshops and pubs waiting to welcome the visitor.
Elgar Birthplace
We often feel closest to Elgar when we listen to his music, but to know the world in which he walked is to colour our image of him further. The National Trust look after his birthplace.
