Hereford Area
Within two miles in any direction from The Town House B&B, you will be in the Herefordshire countryside. Further afield, the Welsh hills and Hay-on-Wye to the West, the Malvern Hills to the East and Ross-on-Wye, the Forest of Dean and Symonds Yat to the South - this is an ideal area for breath-taking views.
This is a farming county, famous for its cattle and its cider. Apple orchards and hop-fields, villages of 'black-and-white' half-timbered houses and cottages, the River Wye winding its way through the fields of rich red soil, the world-renowned white-faced cattle - all capture the essence of Herefordshire.
Hereford City is a short easy walk from The Town House. The Cathedral, the exhibition of the mediaeval Mappa Mundi and the Old House in High Town are all worth a visit, as are the Butter Market and the independent shops in Church Street.
The Cider Museum tells the story of a major Herefordshire industry. The Waterworks Museum has working pumping engines and is a rewarding destination after a pleasant riverside walk.
From your accommodation at The Town House it's only 200m along the road to the Courtyard Theatre and Arts Centre for exhibitions, films, plays, musicals, bar and licensed restaurant.
Hereford is an ideal centre for The Marches and the Wye Valley. The Hay Literary Festival, the Three Counties Show, the Three Choirs Festival, the Brecon Jazz Festival are of national and international renown and feature every year in the area.And there is so much more celebration of the local Herefordshire flavours too, with regular Farmers' Markets in High Town, beer festivals, the Bromyard Folk Festival and the Ledbury Poetry Festival.
