Tips from the Community
The Herefordshire Trail encounters the River Arrow many times in north Herefordshire, and that is a good thing as it is a lovely little winding river in such good settings.

The path through the woods maybe a little muddy at the moment, but it is a lovely stretch of the route, especially in autumn colours and good light. Of interest the path follows both the river Arrow and the track of the private railway from Titley Junction.

Lovely old bridge in a style that is often used in these parts, accessible for photography whereas others on this route aren't, or are overgrown.

This looks like someone's giant train set! It's all private, and has half a mile or so of track on the old Leominster to Kington branch line route.

part of the old railway line through Kington, still of interest with the old station and a little rolling stock, unfortunately it's now closed to the public with the only views from the footpath

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.

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.
