Sightseeing
Hergest ridge is part of the Offas Dyke trail and is a wonder way to blow away the cobwebs right on our door step. A walk up to the monkey puzzle trees in the middle of the old training track, you may see the wild horses. Or walk right over to Gladestry and The Royal Oak for a spot of lunch.
