The Herefordshire Trail is a long distance footpath forming a circular walk in the English county of Herefordshire.
[edit] Route & Distance
The Herefordshire Trail runs for 153 miles (246.5 km) and forms a circular tour of the county of Herefordshire.
It has been designed to link five of Herefordshire's market towns ; Leominster, Bromyard, Ledbury, Ross-on-Wye and Kington but also taking in many of the smallest villages which are the hidden gems of the area such as Kilpeck or Leintwardine.
The route encompasses historic churches and inns, and the terrain varies from the well known Malvern Hills and the hidden Golden Valley, Herefordshire below the looming bulk of the Black Mountains, Wales to the river valleys and Black and white villages trail passing through cider orchards and many of the lesser known hidden places in the secret corners of this quiet county.
The Trail was the outcome of efforts by Herefordshire Council, Advantage West Midlands, the European Union and The Countryside Agency to enrich the rural economies of the towns and villages en route.
