Hiking

Richard's Castle is a village, castle and two civil parishes on the border of the counties of Herefordshire and Shropshire in England. There is not much left of the castle but the remains and the nearby church is very quaint and worth a visit.

Hiking

St Bartholomew’s Church, is like stepping back in time with its box pews and raised pews - it’s well worth a visit! Richard’s Castle is just through the churchyard to the left, great views from up on the Keep.

Hiking

A fine old church, and the black and white Church Cottage is even more picturesque.
