A little village that lies close to the boarder of Wales in the NW corner of Herefordshire. There is a castle but rarely open (scarecrow Sunday). It also has 16 building/ monuments that are listed on the National Heritage List. The white thatch cottages on the green, probably C17 to early C18. And the drinking fountain, mid C19. Cast iron. Fluted column with iron mask to front. It no longer works! Are just 2 of the 16. A remarkable lumpy free-form yew hedge dominates the village. At approximately half a mile in length is reputed to be the longest free-form or cloud yew hedge in England. Saving the best till last if it’s fresh coffee and homemade cake you like then don’t miss Aardvark Books. Closed on a Monday otherwise open from 10:00-16:00.
