Located in beautiful Herefordshire countryside the Small Breeds Farm is a perfect place to spend the day. Brilliant for adults and families, there is a great selection of wonderful animals. The centre has a fantastic owl collection which is well laid out with informative signs. The rest of the animals are spread out throughout the farm, there are sheep, goats, llamas, pygmy goats, various other birds, donkeys, pigs, rabbits, chipmunks and a lovely water area with some giant tortoises nearby. It's a lovely relaxing place to enjoy the day particularly if the weather is good. You can feed some of the animals and get up close and personal. Many are free to roam around and are happy to interact with you. There is a cafe on site and a picnic area, so you can bring your own food or buy some home-made delights instead. Brilliant Covid measures are in place and there is a one way system through the park. Staff are really welcoming and helpful. Great value for money and lots of fun too.

My Husband and I have been to Docklow Pools twice and it is a fabulous place to go to . The accommodation is very clean , The Scenery is stunning, The walks through the woods are great ,the fishing is great with lots of lakes to fish , the meals are amazing , and most of all Jonathon and all his staff are very friendly, very helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them . It is also a place you can go to in the winter times just to relax and unwind. We love it there so we have booked to go again in later this year and next year .
4. Berrington Hall
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 940 reviews
Created as the perfect house in the perfect setting, Berrington has many secrets to uncover. Here in one of Henry Holland’s first houses, you can explore the family rooms and walk in the servants’ footsteps down the back stairs, moving around the house unseen by the family and guests. You will find out what happened to William Kemp, LordCawley’s butler, and discover the anguish of a grieving mother during the First World War. Alternatively why not join a below-stairs tour to see if you would have liked being a servant at Berrington?

What a fabulous visit we had to the Cathedral We can certainly recommend it Altho due to Covid some of the Cathedral is roped off, we walked round mist of it it is beautiful & it has such a brilliant History attached to it We went thru to the Chained Library (fascinating) & the Mappa Mundy which was a superb artifact to see. So interesting to see the Medieval map where scholars only knew & depicted Europe Asia & Africa. With many unusual birds & beats. So glad we went to see it. 5 star review for the Cathedral experience.

Two extremely helpful young men were manning the desk. The exhibits were of excellent quality, and the information boards ideal. Got completely lost in time. Really good value at £3.50. Felt I had really stepped back in time in the lovely atmosphere of the House

Reviewed By _rosaldred - Bognor Regis, United Kingdom
Enjoyed a lazy day wandering round the black and white vilages, but only managed 2, Pembridge and Eardisland. So pretty, like Midsomers murders! In Pembridge, sat in the Church green, by the bell tower, having a coffee and enjoying the view. Parked by the river, (free) just outside the village where there were many locals having a picnic and children playing in the lovely river, which was quite safe and had a pebbly beach area, as well as some deeper areas.

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.
