Just show me Herefordshire Cottages
Tucked away alongside the Welsh border, Herefordshire lies in
the shadow of the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains of Wales, and
is bordered by England's picturesque Wye Valley to the
south and the gentle rolling Malvern Hills, famed for the purest
spring water, to the east. An idyllic agricultural land, bursting
with fruit orchards, meadows and criss-crossed with ancient
hedgerows, come and discover sleepy market towns of black and white
half-timbered houses belonging to centuries long past; witness hops
and cider still produced in time-honoured fashion and marvel as
life continues quietly just as it has down the years. A
Herefordshire cottage holiday truly is a return to an era free from
the pressures of modern life; an opportunity to taste the quiet
freedom of the countryside, discover country lanes with kestrels
soaring high above, rest your eyes on carpets of lush, green fields
at every turn and be lulled by the sound of rivers and brooks
babbling quietly by.
The Cathedral city of Hereford stands on
the meandering river Wye; rent a Herefordshire cottage in the
surrounding countryside and explore the cathedral with its two
remarkable medieval treasures; the Mappa Mundi, dating from the
thirteenth century, and the ancient Chained Library, dating back
still further, to the eighth century. The incongruous Old House is
a veritable treasure trove of a black and white house, dating from
the seventeenth century and lovingly preserved complete with
gorgeous English oak furniture, standing at the heart of the
now-pedestrianised shopping centre. Here you'll also find the
town's Museum and Art Gallery, while nearby the Bishop's
Palace is one of the country's oldest timber halls; you can
almost feel the history seeping out from within the ancient wooden
beams. Cider is the city's most famous export; see it being
produced then tickle your taste buds with a dram of apple aperitif
or a drop of cider liqueur at the Cider Museum and King Offa
Distillery.
Discover the true essence of Herefordshire in its rural towns and
villages. Well- constructed trails make it a pleasure to discover
uncover them on four wheels or two. By car, follow the forty-mile
circular Black and White Village Trail heading west from the market
town of Leominster, as it
passes through the most picturesque of the county's ancient
villages. The half-timbered black and white houses and cottages are
redolent of centuries past. Villages such as Kington, on the Welsh
border, and Eardisland , one of
the prettiest villages one could hope to find, display their own
unique character and charm; you'll usually find some good
specialist shops, tea rooms, a welcoming local pub and intriguing
craft or antique shops too. Leave the car behind and head off on
the 'cider cycle', a couple of designated, circular routes
of some twenty miles through farms and orchards, passing cider
producers, with plenty of country pubs and tea rooms, as well as
the opportunity for sampling the golden fizz en route.
Ross on
Wye is a lovely town perched high on a rocky sandstone
bluff. A Herefordshire cottage here makes a great base for
exploring the many delights of the beautiful Wye valley,
including popular local tourist attractions such as Symonds Yat
beauty spot, where rare peregrine falcons nest in the rock face, or
nearby Goodrich, with its
striking twelfth century castle. Sports enthusiasts will find the
river Wye an excellent centre for canoeing, kayaking and white
water rafting. Picturesque Ledbury has its fair share of
half-timbered houses, including the Butcher's Row house museum
and the old market hall, as well as Weston's traditional cider
farm and a number of interesting speciality shops, and is
particularly good for antiques. Nearby Eastnor Castle, Deer Park
& Arboretum is a popular visitor attraction. Head to Leominster in the
Welsh Marshes for market day and bargain hunting, whilst nearby
Hampton Court Gardens, Queensford Arboretum and Country Park and
Berrington Hall make for popular days out. A Herefordshire cottage
in or around Kington will be a
well-chosen location for walkers. Here, everything from riverside
rambles in the tranquil Golden Valley or strenuous hikes on the
well-trodden paths of Offa's Dyke or the Mortimer Trail is
readily accessible. Gardeners will love Hergest Croft Gardens,
while those with small children will enjoy the Small Breeds Farm
Park and Owl Sanctuary at nearby Kingswood.
Further afield, beyond the county border, your Herefordshire
cottage will be your base for discovering many natural beauty spots
and historic sites. The chocolate-box villages and hamlets of the
Cotswolds;
Shakespeare's birthplace in lovely Stratford upon
Avon , Worcestershire's walks in the Malvern Hills, and
the scenic Severn Valley Railway. Enjoy quiet market towns such as
Evesham and Pershore in the pretty Vale of Evesham, or Hay on Wye
in the Brecon Beacons National Park. Croft Castle, close to the
Shropshire
border, is a handsome, castellated manor house set in beautiful
parkland with a restored walled garden and fine gothic interiors;
while further on into Shropshire the 'slow town' of
Ludlow is a
delight not to be missed, with a superb castle of its own and a
feast of speciality food shops for gourmets.
A Herefordshire cottage holiday allows you to choose the best of
local produce to create your perfect evening in after a hard
day's walking, sightseeing or relaxing. Savour salmon from the
river Wye, finest Hereford beef reared on local farms or a
thirst-quenching bottle of Herefordshire cider from the
county's orchards. Shop for traditional cheeses, such as
Hereford sage and Dorstone Finn, or organically produced sausages
at Farmer's markets and when dining out, look out for the
'Flavours of Herefordshire' logo to ensure the best in
locally grown produce.
Renting a Herefordshire cottage is to experience a tiny slice of
idyllic country life. From Leominster in the North, Ledbury in the
east, Ross on
Wye in south and Kington in the west, a Sykes
Herefordshire cottage is the place to breathe in the fresh air of a
fertile agricultural land, drop the pace of life down a notch or
two, and indulge in a gentle journey of discovery from your own
little home from home in a land refreshingly bypassed by the modern
age.
