About this property

Situated within the heart of the Wye Valley within the rich Herefordshire countryside, there is plenty for all to see and do. Ideal for group walking with well-marked trails and country pubs along the way, the Wye Valley trail can be picked up at Hoarwithy (3 miles) where you can hire canoes and kayaks. For cyclists, the Forest of Dean offers some of the best downhill tracks along with a more leisurely ride for families (15 miles). The area is also steeped in history and you can visit one of the many castles including Goodrich, White Castle, and Raglan, all of which are within 20 miles.
