The Herefordshire Trail

Home The Route Route Ammendments Guide Book News

The Herefordshire Trail is a long distance path using existing public rights of way to give a circular tour around the county.

It links the five market towns of Ledbury, Ross-on-Wye, Kington, Leominster and Bromyard, along with some of the picturesque villages and hamlets for which Herefordshire is renowned.

The 150-mile route takes walkers through spectacular countryside enabling them to enjoy unequalled views across the county and neighbouring counties.  The landscape varies from the Malvern Hills in the east to the Black Mountains in the west, through rich arable land, apple orchards, hop fields, woodlands speckled with wild flowers and river valleys.

Along the way are pretty rural churches, castle ruins and other historic features together with country inns and farmhouses offering bed and breakfast.  The market towns each have their own character but all have a range of hotels, guest houses, restaurants and pubs.

Whether you walk the entire route in one continuous journey, chose small sections at a time or simple retrace your footsteps over the bits you like best we believe there is no finer way to enjoy the beauty of the county that from the Herefordshire Trail.
