We are the Shrewsbury Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Hergest Ridge , near KIngton, Herfordshire, straddles the English Welsh borders for 4 miles. It was made musically famous by Mike Oldfield with his 1974 album of the same name. We go along the ridge and return along a lower pathways to the south, with views towards the Black Mountains.
We will park in the Hergest Croft Gardens car park. The Gardens are well worth a visit to see the Azalea garden and exotic flowering trees, large woodland with Rhododendrons, kitchen garden and orchard and other garden areas surrounding the lawns in front of the Edwardian house which has an excellent tearoom. The visit is optional and entrance costs £9.00 (see link to their website below).
Book by text with the walk leader. Please say if you need a lift/willing to car share OR going straight to the start . Voluntary transport contribution is £8 for those in a car share.
The Hergest Croft car park is just past the entrance to the House and on the opposite side of the road ie on the right.
