There is a rich variety among the Churches of Hereford and Shropshire that is there to be discovered by the inquiring visitor. Kilpeck, Abbeydore, Stokesay, Ludlow, Leominster and Shobdon are a few of the fine churches that are worthy of a visit. Burford House garden is nearby. Hergest Croft Gardens on the Welsh border above Kington has been established for 125 years, it is on the line of Offa's Dyke and there is a fine walk along Hergest Ridge. Powis Castle is exceptional for showing unusual varieties in a spectacular setting.
Plantsmen find the area of interest and always seem to leave with specimen plants.
To capture the character of the district follow the Black and White trail out of Leominster and visit Eardisland, Pembridge, Dilwyn, Weobley and Eardisley. The Black Mountains are always to be seen on a clear day. Titterstone Clee dominates Ludlow which is an historic town that deserves a visit. The Long Mynd above Church Stretton is dramatically different country and there is Corve Dale and Wenlock Edge to the east. The river Wye winds from Bredwardine to Goodrich and Symonds Yat.
