Between Leominster and Worcester, a cathedral city, and near to Hereford and Ledbury, is the Herefordshire market town of Bromyard. Bromyard hosts a yearly folk festival in addition to having stores, cafes, and bars. The nearby Bringsty Common and Bromyard Downs are great for taking lengthy walks. Leominster, which dates to the seventh century, has beautiful examples of architecture, including the Priory Church, and Worcester, with its extensive collection of amenities and historic monuments, is definitely worth a visit. The Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and even the Brecon Beacons National Park are farther away, as are the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Visit Ludlow, which has 500 structures on the National Register of Historic Places, Tenbury Wells, and Hay-on-Wye, known as the “town of books,” as well. A great place to start your exploration of Herefordshire, Worcestershire, and Shropshire is Bromyard.
