This summer we’re getting out into the UK to discover some of the best adventures these wild isles have to offer. Along for the ride is director, filmmaker and environmentalist, Jack Harries.
We’ll be bringing you tips, guides and inspiration for your own wild weekends. Think secret beaches, award winning distilleries, woodland cinemas and the sort of long summer days that you'll remember for years to come.
Each month we’ll be focusing on a different region and we’re kicking things off in Herefordshire – where adventure beckons in every woodland dell, where activities on the River Wye end with drinks in riverside pubs, and incredible spaces are dotted between stupefyingly beautiful vistas.
From local Welsh cuisine to European and Korean fare, explore the best foodie experiences Herefordshire has to offer.
We love an independent… anything here at Canopy & Stars. Who doesn’t love to see smaller businesses bring their own unique take to our high streets. We’ve rounded up some of our favourite independent shops in Herefordshire.
Despite its popularity, and its well-known attractions, it still manages to have its hidden corners and secret spots, so without further ado, here’s our favourites.
We’ve got some unique glamping places dotted along the route of the Herefordshire trail from treehouses with outdoor cinemas, to a sleek A-frame cabin and curvaceous wooden pods.
Canoeing on the Wye, biking the cider circuits and browsing the bookshops of Hay-on-Wye might spring to mind when you think of Herefordshire. Sounds great to us, but if you want your wild weekend to include a few less obvious activities, try some of the fun and unusual things we’ve found to do in this hidden gem of a region. We’re talking llamas, paragliding, mediaeval maps and lashings of gin. What’s not to love?
Follow along with us as we take on Herefordshire, going in a spiral from Hereford to Ross-on-Wye, to Bromyard, to Leominster to Hay-on-Wye. You could take these places on in any order, but this imagines you starting in the ‘capital’ of Herefordshire first.
