We are just 3 miles from the Mortimer Trail, the 30 mile linear walk from Ludlow to Kington, with several loopwalks, such as the Lingen Loop, to which we can offer a delivery and collection service for our guests.

The Herefordshire Trail passes about half a mile from our door where it swings round Noisy Hall.

The nearest town is Presteigne, The Town of Festivals, (population 2000), the former County Town of Radnorshire, about 3 miles, having a post office, shops, garage, restaurants and tourist office. Presteigne hosts the famous Music Festival in late August and the Vintage Car Rally in October.

Another long distance path, Offa's Dyke, also runs close to Presteigne.

The delights of mid Wales are within an hours drive: the Elan Valley Dams, Welshpool with its steam railway, the National Trust owned Powys Castle, the Spaceguard Centre (formerly Powys Observatory) at Knighton, and, of course, the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons.

In 30 minutes by country lanes is Ludlow (population 10000), situated on the river Teme, with wonderful Georgian architecture, a castle and a commanding Parish Church. Ludlow enjoys a year round calendar of events, including the Summer Festival (June/July) where Shakespeare's plays are performed against the backdrop of the castle, large craft shows, the increasingly popular Food & Drink (September), the market days and the specialist weekend markets. The ambiance of this delightful town is in its streets and walks along the Teme and in the surrounding countryside. Ludlow is also famous for its restaurants.

We are also centrally placed to visit Herefordshire. The black and white villages are a painter's dream in an area of peaceful lanes and fruit growing, Hereford with its cathedral and Mappa Mundi, Leominster with its antique shops, and Hay on Wye, the town of books.

There are a good selection of pubs and restaurants in the vicinity, including The Stagg at Titley (the only Michelin starred pub in England) to finish off a perfect day in an area having a wealth of attractions to suit all tastes.
