Ancient woodlands, riverside trails, magical views over misty valleys, beautiful bustling market towns, Herefordshire lies sleepily on the Welsh border and is a wonderful location for a relaxing break at any time of year.
In spring there are bluebell wood walks, apple orchard blossoms, glorious gardens and miles of wild, unspoilt hills and meadows for a host of activities including cycling, hill walking, pony or llama trekking and white-water rafting.
There are plenty of attractions to explore in Herefordshire, from Hampton Court Castle and Gardens to National Trust owned properties such as Berrington Hall and Brockhampton Estate.
For culture there is art, literature and history to be found in quaint medieval towns such as Ross on Wye, famous for its literary festival. A visit to the Black and White villages of North Herefordshire, and a crawl along the Cider Route and a wealth of traditional pubs and restaurants will contribute to a fabulous holiday in Herefordshire.
Since pretty much everywhere is stunningly lovely in this county, you can expect the holiday parks to be special too.
