The Golden Valley

The relaxed pace of life, fascinating history and unspoilt landscape combine to create a most memorable experience.

Often established in the shadow of the great castles, Parish Churches are another cornerstone of Herefordshire's rural heritage. Visitors are invariably delighted to find a treasure trove of beautiful and unusual churches. All major periods of church architecture are represented, from Norman to early 20 th century Arts and Crafts.
