We stayed in Brown Snout cottage for two weeks, it was very comfortable, especially the bed which is important! The kitchen was well equipped with everything you could possibly need, including a diswaher! The bathroom was clean with a powerful shower. There is a porch which was a good storage area for walking shoes, coats and rucksacks but it was also nice to sit in there at night watching the sun go down. The family that run it along with their cider farm were friendly and most helpful suggesting walks from the cottages and places we should visit. Its a five minute walk to the railway station with trains to Worcester in one direction and Hereford in the other and the town centre is only a 10/15 minute walk away with local shops, coffee shops, chippy, Aldi, Tesco etc. If you follow the Town trail five minutes from the cottages, it takes you on a disused railway line that was ideal for walking our dog off lead. Its a good base for visiting Tewkesbury, Ross on Wye, Symonds Yat, Monmouth, Gloucester and walking the Malvern hills was lovely, the views are amazing.

Such a delightful street, with a tudor school house, butcher's row shop and an Elizabethan painted room just around the corner. Wonderful church at top of street a charming mix of Tudor and Georgian. The Malthouse cafe has great coffee, interesting cakes, tasty breakfast and lunch - we go there regularly and the Prince of Wales pub has good food and drink, atmosphere,wide range of gins. Always seems to be busy, popular and welcoming.

Lived near Ledbury for many years and occasionally pop into the town for a bite to eat and beer and have always walked passed this museum. But today, did actually venture in and have a look around this and the heritage centre across the street. It is quite small and won't fill your day like a theme park. But for half an hour, it's gives a very interesting insight to the towns history. The chap in the museum was very friendly and sparked real enthusiasm with my children about the place(and one of them is 17 so takes some doing!!), which made them much more receptive to the exhibition pieces. The museum is all based on donations, so you really don't have anything to loose. Also, it's perfectly located next to the Prince of Wales pub. Ideal if you need a rest after doing all that history stuff :)

Just such a photogenic structure which oozes a sense of social history. In fact, very much in keeping with the rest of Ledbury. Very enjoyable.

A warm welcome greeted us as we were invited to take a seat in the upper room & listen to a short & very informative talk about the painted room by a very knowledgeable guide.The paintings date back to 1560/70 & are in the style of a Tudor knot garden with Biblical texts written above.The paintings lay undiscovered until 1989 so are a real find & a treat to see.Admission is free with donations welcomed.There are other exhibits to see in the upper room as well as small gifts & a guide book to purchase.Well worth a visit.

Reviewed By milimana - Worcester, United Kingdom
There's a lot to see in this large parish church with its handsome nave and wide aisles with their fine rows of windows giving a sense of space (quite unlike the chancel with its rough limestone walls and porthole clerestory windows). There are plenty of memorial slabs on the floor, and other interesting monuments dotted over the walls. The best windows, with ballflower decoration, are in the north chancel chapel and are reminiscent of the finer ones at Leominster. It is worth finding the 'hidden' red glass window, set so high above the main east window that it is impossible to see from most angles. You need to stand in a central position about three feet back from the chancel steps; a couple of paces in any other direction and it disappears - very clever. The separate tower is as good a place as any to see the variety of building stone used and the mixture of grey Silurian limestone and Old Red Sandstone reflects the nearby geological boundary.
