Almeley

Our new development, Spring Grove Meadow, is located at Spring Grove, close to the village of Almeley, a quintessential encapsulation of the perfect rural village. Spring Grove is surrounded by rolling fields and views out to the Black Mountains and green pastures, but nicely located to benefit from the amenities within the village. A bustling and quality award-winning village pub, ‘The Bells’ is within a mile walk of Spring Grove Meadow. There are regular events and the pub also houses a village shop and deli.

Almeley has an active village hall located by the green, which twins as a cricket pitch for Almeley Cricket Club, where there is a quaint pavilion on the other side. The club celebrated 70 years in 2022. Almeley has a popular primary school and a church (St. Mary’s) located by the ancient remains of Almeley Castle. Almeley is truly a well kept secret.

Farming

CIDERS & ALES

Herefordshire is proud of its heritage as the real home of cider. There are international names you will recognise, like Bulmers and Westons. However it is just as noteworthy for the abundance of smaller independent local brewers taking advantage of our unique climate and conditions to produce such high- quality varieties of cider. Brewing is not just limited to cider, with the award-winning Wye Valley Brewery producing much-loved beers such as Butty Bach and Hereford Pale Ale.

HEREFORD CATTLE

The Hereford breed of cattle is one of the oldest and is famous the world over for its distinctive physical shape and colour. Over five million pedigree Hereford cattle are farmed in over fifty countries worldwide, dominating the modern cattle trade. Despite its worldwide fame, the breed is still a familiar sight in Lyonshall today, as well as being prominently featured in agricultural shows across the UK. The prestigious herd is kept by Kinsey and his family and will continue to graze the fields surrounding Webbs Meadow.

RYELAND SHEEP

Ryeland sheep date back to medieval times where they were renowned for the quality of their wool. Originally from Leominster, Queen Elizabeth I would insist on clothes made of their wool. Ryeland numbers declined in the 20th century but are happily on the increase now. They have a very distinctive appearance and often you will see grey or brown shades within the flock. We’re very proud of our Ryelands and so they’re a common sight across Kinsey’s farm on the edge of Lyonshall.
