Walking
As well as some stunning shorter walks straight from the door at Monnington House, Garden Cottage and The Cider Mill, there are many more routes to choose from nearby.
Bredwardine to Byford
Bredwardine to Byford (part of the Wye Valley Walk). This is an easy stage along quiet lanes, pass Bredwardine Church, crossing the Wye at Bredwardine Bridge and passing Brobury House and gardens. Back on the footpath to Brobury Scar gnarled old chestnut trees line the way. Here the Wye has cut deep into the sandstone creating a cliff-type bluff with a drop to the river below. The route follows Monnington Walk, a mile-long avenue of Scots pine and yew trees. The route then passes through extensive cider apple orchards to reach Byford.

The Wye Walker E1: Bucolic Herefordshire is a lovely circular walk amongst the hedgerows and orchards of rural Herefordshire.
