This is where England meets in the north west of Herefordshire. Deeply rural with breathtaking countryside, of rolling hills, ancient woods, forests and water meadows. The rivers, Lugg, Arrow and Teme, are all prominent features of the landscape. Some of the place names of the picturesque villages and hamlets are lost in the mist of time. Many were thriving medieval townships with bustling markets based on the wool of the Ryeland sheep bred by the monks Orleton in Leominster.

The market towns of Leominster, “The Town in the Marches”, and Kington, close to Offa’s Dyke Path, both offer a wide variety of shops, cafés, pubs, places to stay and antique shops. Between Leominster and Kington are to be found ‘The Black and White Villages’ and an artisan cheese maker. To the south of Leominster is Queenswood Country Park and not far away near Bodenham can be found one of Herefordshire’s vineyards. To the north west of Leominster is Orleton Country, lying in the lee of the Hills AONB. Historically a land of political history and intrigue, dominated by the rich estates, offices of power and profit bestowed upon the Mortimer Marcher Lords of Wigmore.

From early summer to late autumn, festivals, village fetes and celebratory events flourish in this area.
