Walk amongst the tranquil rolling hills on the mid-Wales border.
What does this mean?
Overview
The mid-England-Wales borderlands, also known as the 'Welsh Marches' is an area of unforgettable and varied natural beauty. Here the hills of Wales meet the lowlands of Herefordshire, true border country, full of valleys, castles and characterful towns and villages with a rich and fascinating history. This is a perfect location for a walking holiday set in ideal walking country for those who prefer a gentler pace and a little more time to explore along the way.
The quaint town of Kington serves as a convergence point for an array of long distance footpaths. The reason for this lies in the quietly spectacular countryside that envelops it. The natural beauty that surrounds Kington is so striking and diverse that it draws in paths from all directions, creating a nexus for walkers and hikers seeking to immerse themselves in the stunning landscapes of this region. Together we will explore the surrounding area, making full use of local long distance trails such as Offa’s Dyke, the Mortimer Trail, the Herefordshire Trail and the Arrow Valley trail as they wind their way over ridges and through valleys.
Your sanctuary for this journey will be the esteemed Burton Hotel, with its expansive and inviting rooms, alongside a renowned restaurant, this hotel truly stands as a hidden gem. The inclusion of a pool and spa adds a touch of opulence to this warm and inviting establishment. We encourage you to take advantage of these complimentary amenities upon your arrival or before your evening meals, allowing you to unwind and rejuvenate after your day of exploration. Your well-being and comfort are paramount to us, and we trust the Burton Hotel will provide a haven of relaxation throughout your stay.
