Surrounded by history

Leominster is nestled away in the Marches, the scenic borderland between Wales and England. In and around the town you’ll discover a wealth of perfectly-preserved National Trust properties and private stately homes, including Hampton Court Castle, Berrington Hall and Croft Castle.

Within Leominster itself there’s also the grand Cathedral and the stunningly well-preserved Old House Public Museum: everything a history buff could ask for.

A town of festivals

Several times a year, Leominster really likes to kick off its shoes and celebrate. Prominent festivals include the annual Leominster Festival, which features a different theme each year, and the Herefordshire Food Festival, which hosts delicious eats from across the county and beyond.

The world-famous Hay-On-Wye Literary Festival also takes place each year only half an hour’s drive away. Check the event listings online and plan ahead if you want to attend any of these popular events, as the best accommodation can get booked out weeks in advance.
