    “Herons is a lovely holiday apartment on the banks of the River Wye.”

    There are patio doors across the whole of the front, so you’re able to have wonderful views of the river and beyond. We were fortunate to have some glorious weather while we were there, so we’re able to sit on the large patio, where there is a choice of seating. The apartment is comfortable, well furnished and equipped. Denise, the owner, lives above the apartment, so was on hand to give advice; it was particularly helpful to have directions to a car park in Hereford, which we could reach ...

The apartment is comfortable, well furnished and equipped. Denise, the owner, lives above the apartment, so was on hand to give advice; it was particularly helpful to have directions to a car park in Hereford, which we could reach without negotiating the busy traffic in the city. Altogether, a very enjoyable holiday.

About the location

BYFORD

Hereford 8 miles; Hay-on-Wye 14 miles.

The scattered village of Byford lies on the banks of the River Wye on the edge of the beautiful Golden Valley. The village is ideally located in unspoilt Herefordshire countryside between Hay-on-Wye and Hereford, with an extensive range of footpaths including the Wye Valley Walk and Offa's Dyke footpath. The magnificent Black Mountains and Bannau Brycheiniog National Park (Brecon Beacons) are also a short drive away. Within easy reach is the ancient city of Hereford with its magnificent cathedral displaying the famous Mappa Mundi world map and an impressive chained library, and its beautiful medieval bridge spanning the River Wye. The town of books, Hay-on-Wye, famous for its 30 plus book shops, charming pubs, antique shops, restaurants and cafes is also an easy drive away, and is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Wales. A little further afield guests can enjoy the fine restaurants, food and antique shops on offer in Ludlow, the many activities in the Forest of Dean and the delightful historic market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth. Visitors to the area can also enjoy walks in amongst some of the oldest rocks in Britain in the eight mile ridge of the Malvern Hills.
