Hereford to Ledbury
A station-to-station walkHerefordshireWest Midlands
Some fantastic scenery. A long, glorious walk through beautiful Herefordshire countryside, mostly off-road on well-signposted named trails, with farmland, vineyards, orchards and the peaceful Haugh Wood. A decent level of fitness is needed for the length, climbs, scrambles, steps and stiles and narrow bridges. Muddy in places after rain; the first 10 km out of Hereford can become boggy. Passes the Mordiford Dragon Trail sculptures and the Lugg Stank raised bank. Few rest stops before the half-way mark at Woolhope, so bring supplies. Well wooded with plenty of shade on hot days.
2 lunch spots: the Moon, or the Crown
Warnings: Parts can become inaccessible following heavy rain and flooding, particularly the first 10 km out of Hereford where the Wye and Lugg can burst their banks. Some climbs and scrambles are not suitable for less able walkers; there are stiles and narrow bridges. Can be muddy.
