Tucked away in the shadow of the Welsh mountains, Herefordshire's hills and meadows offer a tranquillity and beauty that matches anything found in the United Kingdom. Herefordshire holiday cottages provide great opportunites for exploring this scenery - in particular the two picturesque River Valleys. For more information regarding Herefordshire cottages see below.
To the south lies a spectacular stretch of the Wye Valley, while in the west the River Dore winds its way along the picturesque Golden Valley that comprises orchards, cornfields and grass meadows. The Black Mountains are visible in the not so distant east.
Hereford, set on the River Wye and dominated by its 11th century cathedral is an interesting blend of ancient and modern. The unique world map, the 13th century Mappa Mundi, has been joined by The Courtyard, that plays host to artistic and theatrical events regularly
The wooded limestone outcrop of Symonds Yat offers some quite stunning views of the River Wye as it winds its way through a gorge, and swings around in a loop for five miles. The magnificent ruins of Goodrich Castle should also prove a major attraction for those intending to visit this beautiful region.
