A little bit about

South Hereford

Herefordshire lies on the border with Wales, hugged by the Malvern Hills to the east and the Black Mountains to the west. As well as captivating castle ruins, churches and historic houses, Herefordshire is also home to special sites of historic interest which include Arthur’s Stone, a 5000-year-old burial chamber with spellbinding views and the magnificently carved Shobdon Arches.

Whilst Herefordshire is predominantly known for its natural beauty, its market towns are equally as charming. The market town of Ledbury is laced with history and timber-framed buildings. Ross-on-Wye is perched on a sandstone cliff above the River Wye and is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Getting closer to nature is easy in Herefordshire. You can canoe the River Wye or trek through Herefordshire’s Golden Valley with a llama by your side. The ‘Roasts & Rambles’ routes will take you through amazing landscapes with stunning views, wild mountain ponies, romantic castle ruins and ancient caves.

Herefordshire is noted for a host of schools, both within the state and private sector. Hereford Cathedral School and The Elms are in close proximity whilst Marlbrook and St Francis Xavier’s Primary School are also highly regarded within the area.
