The Old Bridge, Hereford

Highlight • Bridge

The Old Bridge was built in the 14th century, replacing an older wooden river crossing. From the bridge you get a lovely view over Hereford Cathedral. An iconic Hereford landscape is also of the bridge crossing the River Wye with Hereford Cathedral in the background.

The New Harp Inn

Highlight • Pub

Great sandwiches, with just the right amount of salad and chips not to feel too heavy for the ride after lunch. Outside table service was a bit disorganised; we watched our warm food being delivered to another table. This, after being told to return inside with a table number to be allowed to place a food order. A plan-o-gram is all they need to sort this issue. Brewdog beers were listed on the menu, but out of stock by 1:30 Saturday afternoon - really? :/. Sold another brand of beer and told it was made by Brewdog when the can said clearly otherwise; really disappointing for an otherwise decent pub in a tranquil location. The food and location save relegation.

Disused Church of Llanwarne

Highlight • Historical Site

A welcome seat by the disused church. In the 19th century the church yard flooded and bodies floated to the surface. A new church and cemetery were created further up the valley.
