The parish of Much Marcle offers a wide range of walks including sections of the Herefordshire Trail and Three Choirs Way. Thanks to the good work of the parish footpaths team led by footpaths officer, David Beckett, many paths have been improved in recent years and this walk is no exception. It is a 4-mile …
From January, bus passengers across most of England will pay no more than £2 for a single journey. In parts of Herefordshire, unless two local operators change course, they won’t. Picture two young people starting their first jobs in Hereford this January. One travels in from Ross-on-Wye or Ledbury on a Stagecoach or DRM bus: …

The meteorological winter ended on February 28th and March 20th marks the Vernal Spring Equinox. Either way, the Daffodil season brings an opportunity to get out and walk the paths of Daffodilshire. The story of the wild daffodil is told elsewhere and we thank all those who seek to encourage the spread of this rare …

The Daff runs regardless of endless roadworks, traffic congestion and inclement weather. Last time we featured Mark who many of you know well and this time we talk to Steve who …
This pleasant linear walk wanders through gently undulating fields and along quiet lanes leading to the old village of Broom’s Green. You then join the Poets’ Paths for the last section into Dymock where you can catch the Daff at the green or opposite. It is a gentle landscape offering fine views across the Leadon …
A walk in the woods at this time of year is irresistible. The ground leaf cover gives way to an array of early Spring flowers, winter aconite, wood anemone and bluebell. Frith Wood is no exception and is also known for its spreading bellflower which is less common. That makes this circular 5.5 mile walk …
Ledbury has always been a major hub for buses and as a regular visitor I welcome the fact that they stop right bang in the centre of town, southbound services adjacent to the Market House and northbound from the Memorial on the opposite side of a very wide road. There are seats, plenty going on, …
If this is the year you plan to get out of the house and spend more time getting some fresh air and exercise there is plenty of opportunity in our local countryside – and many enthusiastic local groups here to help you and keep you company along the way.
