Kip tips
Best activity
Canoeing, kayaking and paddleboarding on the River Wye. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing drift or a more exhilarating ride, there are still or white waters to suit all.
Architecture
Herefordshire’s Black and White villages are dotted with timber-framed cottages that transport you back to medieval England. Weobley, with its charming market square, and Eardisland, along the idyllic River Arrow, are our favourites.
Kip tip
Hereford Cathedral is home to the world-famous Mappa Mundi, a medieval map that offers an amazing insight into the world as it was understood in the 14thC.
Must do
Explore the Wye Valley, a Unesco site, and a breathtaking landscape for walkers. Symonds Yat Rock is brilliant for panoramic views, and peregrine falcons overhead if you’re lucky.
Foodie treat
This region is renowned for its cider, and many local pubs and cider houses offer tours and tastings.
With kids.
Puzzlewood, on the Gloucestershire border, is a magical, ancient woodland filled with winding paths, moss-covered rocks and mysterious trees. It’s like stepping into a fairytale. It’s also home to a maze of trails, which are perfect for little adventurers.
