Whether you've packed your hiking boots or simply fancy some gentle strolling, there's plenty to explore just a short distance from the hotel. Embark on a rewarding walk up to British Camp, an Iron Age hill fort located at the top of Herefordshire Beacon in the Malvern Hills, or enjoy scenic walks and cycling routes throughout the hills themselves. You could even visit the charming town of Great Malvern, once a Victorian spa town, to browse its pretty shops and soak up the local atmosphere.

For those wishing to venture slightly further afield, take a short drive to the magnificent Eastnor Castle, learn about English winemaking at Three Choirs Vineyard, or visit the elegant Croome Park National Trust. These are just a few of the many gems which lie in Herefordshire country and beyond.
