Things to see and do
From the World's first Book Town in Hay on Wye, to our local waterfall, you will find many places to visit while staying with us. Hergest Croft Gardens has proved popular over the years with many visitors, as well as local towns such as Ludlow, Abergavenny and Hereford.
Hay on Wye
The property is just 13 miles from the popular town of Hay-on-Wye which is famous for its many book shops and annual Hay Festival, which attracts many visitors each year, including many celebrity faces.
Hergest Croft Gardens
Set in the heart of the Welsh Marches, this 70 acre garden has stunning views towards the Black Mountains. Created over 120 years by four generations of the Banks family, Hergest Croft has a unique collection of over 5,000 rare plants, trees and shrubs as well as more than 90 'Champion' trees. There are gorgeous flower borders, an old fashioned Kitchen Garden, Azalea Garden, Maple Grove, and Park Wood. Spectacular spring and autumn colour make this a garden for all seasons.
Water-breaks-its-neck
Water-break-its-neck is a tall, beautiful waterfall on an unnamed stream west in the Radnor Forest of Radnorshire. It has long been known for its remote spectacle, though reached without great effort from New Radnor.
Small Breeds Farm Park & Owl Centre
The Small Breeds Farm Park and Owl Centre is a wonderful collection of miniature rare and unusual animals and birds displayed to encourage the 'hands on' experience. A great day out for all ages.
Hergest Ridge
The ridge runs between Kington in Herefordshire to the little village of Gladestry in Powys, Wales. The Hergest Ridge section is one of several highlights for walkers undertaking the Offa's Dyke Path. The monkey puzzle trees, the whet stone and of course the herd of wild ponies make the Ridge a truly memorable place.
