Activities

For a county with very nearly the lowest population density in the country, there is no shortage of activities to see or take part in. Whether you are sporty, like exploring historic buildings or just trying new places to eat your only problem is deciding where from all the choices available.

KINGTON GOLF COURSE

At an elevation of 1,100 feet, the Kington Golf Course on Bradnor Hill is the highest golf course in England. The land is owned by the National Trust, with the Offa’s Dyke footpath passing through. Kington’s greens are noted for their high quality, with many still available for play into the winter months. Known for their warm welcome to individuals and groups of new golfers, Kington is open to both visitors and members. The course boasts unsurpassed, spectacular 360 degree views over 7 counties.

SHOBDON AIRFIELD

There’s no better way to see the
beauty of our surroundings than to
take to the skies. Shobdon Airfield is
the only licensed airfield in the county
and offers a wide range of activities
for the enthusiast, from fixed wing
aircraft to gliders and helicopters. Each
summer the Food and Flying Festival
attracts thousands of visitors.

LUCTONIANS SPORTS CLUB

Luctonians is a leading rugby
club in the county and in recent
years has become a focal point
for many other sports including
cricket, netball, archery, cycling and
rounders. The club has extended its
facilities and is a popular venue for
parties and events.

BLACK AND WHITE TRAIL

Herefordshire is home to beautiful homes and villages dating back to
medieval times. These beautiful timbered
dwellings are scattered across the
county but the black and white trail is a
great way to see so many.
This 40-mile circular trail takes in villages
and small towns such as Leominster,
Kington, Eardisland, Pembridge, Weobley
and, of course, Lyonshall.
