Hiking

Hergest Ridge runs along the border of England and Wales and affords breathtaking panoramic views. In clear conditions, you can see the hills of Shropshire in the north, the Brecon Beacons in the south and the Malverns in the east. The highest point of the ridge is 1,398 feet (426 m). Offa's Dyke National Trail runs over the ridge, which is also home to sheep and wild ponies.

Hiking

Beautiful day out hiking two Marilyns in the Kington area. Kington is a gorgeous place to stay and the walk along the Hargest Ridge is a classic little gem.

Hiking

If you hike the Offa's Dyke Path, the passage over the Hergest Ridge is the highlight of the stage from Hay-on-Wye to Kington. Very beautiful views and distant vistas! The path itself does not lead directly over the summit, but you can of course incorporate that if you wish.
