When a pub is named Ye Olde Tavern, you know to expect timeless charm, real ale and a friendly welcome. This lovely, Grade-II listed country pub is handily located to provide fortification for visiting hikers. As well as beautiful walking in the surrounding countryside, the Offa's Dyke Path, the Herefordshire Trail and the Mortimer Trail all pass through Kington.

The pub was built at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries and was originally called the House in the Fields. When trains arrived in Kington, it changed to the Railway Tavern, before changing to Ye Olde Tavern in 1964 when the railway closed. It won the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) title of best Herefordshire pub in 2009.

The Stagg Inn

Highlight • Restaurant

The award-winning Stagg Inn is at the meeting point of two old drovers' roads and retains much of its rustic quality. Here, you'll find excellent food — in fact, it was the first pub in the UK to be awarded a Michelin Star, though prices remain reasonable considering the quality.

Hikers exploring the surrounding countryside or walking the Herefordshire and Mortimer Trails can stay at the Inn or in the nearby Old Vicarage, which is owned by the same people.

The Stagg Inn, Titley

Highlight • Settlement

Titley is a gorgeous village in the north west of Herefordshire. Its location close to the uplands along the Welsh border means there are some great walking routes in the surrounding countryside, such as a hike to the summit of nearby Bradnor Hill at 1,283 feet (391 m).

There are rooms at the Stagg Inn, as well as excellent food. It was the first pub in the UK to be awarded a Michelin Star.

St Peter's Church, Titley

Highlight • Religious Site

St Peter's is a very pretty church in the picturesque village of Titley. There has been worship on this site as far back as 1120, when it housed an order of Tironensian monks. However, the current church building dates from 1865.

Interestingly, the churchyard sees quite a few visitors from Hungary, paying their respects to national hero General Lázár Mészáros. A monument was placed here in 1858 when he died in the village, after spending eight years travelling the world.
