Hergest Ridge was clearly an important place in ancient times, and there are a number of neolithic mounds and other artefacts up there, as this describes - https://htt.herefordshire.gov.uk/media/1092/ha232_she18423_hergestridgereport.pdf

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

An isolated and steep sided hill, just over a 1000 ft high, with beautiful woods that have clear paths running through them. There are some magnificent trees to be seen. In parts the paths can be overgrown with bracken, but they are still clear.

You can just about make out the ramparts of Wapley Hillfort, but it is pretty overgrown.

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

The ponies like the high ground

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.
