The group of Monkey Puzzle trees can be seen for miles around, and are a clear way point on the Offa's Dyke path.

Kington is a lovely little town in the shadow of Hergest Ridge, and is a renowned centre for walking. The little museum has an excellent sculpture of Fly the walking dog - which captures the spirit of dogs taken for a good walk in the countryside.

Mike Oldfield created an album called ‘Hergest Ridge’ in 1974 and lived at ‘The Beacon’ the cottage with a first floor extension on Offas Dyke path from Kington which is now a guest house. The golf course encompasses Bradnor Hill and there are benches and wooden shelters at various points. Views across several counties are well worth the walk. If you’re a horse person or just a calm, quiet person around animals you will probably make some pony friends

A beautiful view and a place to pause on the Offa's Dyke Path! There is a nice wooden bench right next to the gate. 🙂

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.

This peaceful and unspoilt scene on Offa’s Dyke Path is a favourite! The view looks southwest on the Herefordshire-Powys border with Wales 1 mile (1.6 km) away. The splendid green rolling hills and grassy paths underfoot combine to make this scene and location a walking highlight!

Seeing the remains of Offa’s Dyke ancient earthwork is a highlight of walking the Offa’s Dyke Path between Kington and Knighton. Offa’s Dyke was constructed over 1200 years ago. The original earthwork is thought to have had a height of 8 feet and a width of up to 65 feet (including its flanking ditch). Despite weathering over the centuries its form remains surprisingly clear in places. A location where the remains of the Dyke is still clear occurs two miles north of Kington on elevated farmland near to the Wales border. Here the Dyke appears as a grassy mound with a ditch to its left (when viewed looking westward). It was inspiring and a great adventure to walk in the footsteps of history! A bonus of visiting this elevated site is that it provides on clear days fine eastward views across Herefordshire to the Malvern Hills 30 miles away.
