In the Welsh marches you will find some of the most lovely and interesting countryside in the UK. The town of Kington is fairly central. Particularly of interest to walkers, Offa's Dyke Path goes through Kington and the more recent Mortimer Trail long distance path connects Kington with Ludlow.

This is a selection of cottages, country houses, pine lodges, log cabins, and apartments, that provide comfortable accommodation for walkers in various parts of Herefordshire.

Most walkers appreciate a pub or tea shop at the end of a journey, or for easy evening meals. Please find details of the local hostelries and photographs of the self-catering accommodation by clicking on any images shown.
