Nestled in the Golden Valley, Ewyas Harold is a beautiful village with a rich history. The remains of an ancient motte-and-bailey castle remain in the west of the village, though only the motte remains to hint at its former glory.

To the north is Ewyas Harold Common, boasting roaming ponies and splendid views towards Wales' Black Mountains. Hillwalking in the surrounding countryside includes routes to Garway Hill and Mynydd Ferddin.

St Peter's Church, Peterchurch

Highlight • Religious Site

On the banks of the River Dore in Herefordshire's beautiful Golden Valley, Peterchurch is a gloriously located village for hillwalking. There are numerous trails that head into the woodland to the east and the gently rolling hill to the west. Views of Wales' Black Mountains are superb.

The village's St Peter's Church has a fine spire of fibreglass, at one time the tallest such spire in the country. If your stomach is rumbling after a walk, the Nags Head pub and the Food for Thought Bistro are both good options.
