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.

Eastnor Castle in the dramatic setting of the Malvern Hills and surrounded by a beautiful deer park, arboretum and lake - is the home of the Hervey-Bathurst family. Besides being a fascinating visitor attraction, the Castle fulfils other roles as an exclusive-use wedding venue, corporate and team building venue, as well as a venue for product launches and location filming. Business or private parties can stay in the castle’s beautiful bedrooms and our highly professional team is on hand to organise every aspect of your visit.

We visited Eastnor Castle on a recent short holiday in the Malverns - we are a family of four with two teenagers and a small dog. I don’t have enough positive things to say about our visit - we loved it! - there is plenty of free parking - you can take a picnic and games, find a spot in the grounds and stay all day - lovely toilets - little cafe and ice cream parlour - big adventure playground and maze - beautiful walk around the lake - very clean and well maintained But best of all is that the site and castle are all dog friendly! We were able to tour the inside of the castle and take our dog with us - which is a rare treat and should be commended. I wish more places allowed this. The castle is beautiful. I would highly recommend Eastnor Castle for a day out - well done to everyone involved

A fascinating house with a hell of a history, fabulous artwork, treasures and decoration; we had a superb guide Justine and it's one of the best guided tours of its type that I've ever had.

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.

Our farm enables families and groups to have fun, safe, quality time together with our friendly animals, activities and play areas. As usual nothing stays the same for long here. Our new Playbarn has been going down well with all our young visitors. Our large selection of friendly, eager to eat out of your hand animals, are waiting to see you! We look forward to seeing you too!

We spent Good Friday here with our 3 children and the grandparents. It was busy but due to the way the park is spread out, it didn't feel overly crowded. There were plenty of activities which suited both our 5 year old boy and 2 year old twin girls including animal petting and feeding, tractor riding as well as the sandpits, hay bales and all the indoor and outdoor play areas which are dotted around throughout the park. Lots of different animals to see including goats, sheep, llamas, donkeys, chickens and rabbits. There was a special Easter trail which our son thoroughly enjoyed taking part in. We took our own picnic lunch but bought ice creams from the shop. There was plenty to do to keep kids occupied all day and ticket prices were really good value. Thoroughly recommend for a fab family day out.

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.
7. St Bartholemew's Church
8. Ledbury Parish Church St. Michaels and All Angels

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.
