HEREFORD

Leominster 14 miles.

The cathedral town of Hereford dates back to Saxon times, and with its medieval bridge over the winding River Wye it is the very image of picturesque England. With a mix of buildings from almost every British era, eclectic Hereford is a popular base for those seeking to explore the locale - being ideally placed for accessing the 'Black and White' villages of the region, not to mention the delights of neighbouring Shropshire, Worcestershire and The Cotswolds. Famous as a cider producing town, Hereford is also the home of the Mappa Mundi, the largest and most elaborate pre-15th Century map in existence, which resides in the Cathedral alongside the famous 'chained library' - a collection of over 1500 rare books from as early as the 8th Century. Nearby is the half timbered town of Leominster, filled with medieval buildings, often overhanging the street, and also accessible is the natural splendour of Symonds Yat, a rocky outcrop on a 5 mile bend of the River Wye, with spectacular views and the opportunity to spot protected Peregrine Falcons flying from their nests.

Green Farm proved to be excellent for a family farm holiday. We appreciated the large space inside and outside the cottage. There was a wealth of interesting towns to visit within a short distance and plenty of interest on the farm itself.

The cottage was very well equipped with lots of thoughtful 'extras' and lovely decorative items which added to the character of the place. The owners were also very friendly and helpful.

An excellent property for all ages. A very good area for visitors - walks, properties to visit etc. We can recommend the Three Crowns Inn for excellent food and friendly service.

We felt comfortable and at home from the moment we arrived and would love to return. The area was wonderful - beautiful scenery and lovely villages to visit. The cottage was exceptional, spotlessly clean and so well equipped, it was a very friendly farm.
