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

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.

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.

Wearing a gorgeous woodland cloak, whale-backed Shobdon Hill is a 1,070-foot (326 m) Marilyn-listed summit in Herefordshire. Hikers ascending from the east are rewarded with splendid views across the valley to Mere Hill Wood. A path traverses the broad crest of the hill, with the occasional vista seen through gaps in the trees. The Mortimer Trail traverses the hill on its way west towards Wapley Hillfort.

Shobdon Hill is a wooded hill near Kinsham and has an unmarked summit. It is a UK listed Marilyn.

Beautiful little church in a stunning part of England.

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.

St Mary’s Church was founded in the late Norman period. The oldest part of the church that survives is the tower, which was built around 1200. The church, which is Grade I-listed, was built as a place of worship and a defensive stronghold. As such, it has extremely thick walls.
