"get away from it all" feeling - take a pin and stick it in
a map anywhere around Ledbury and be delighted by the views of the countryside.
Little tucked away churches, rural scenery, the smell and magical sight
of apple blossom -its all here.
Visit Dymock and Kempley
when the bluebells and daffodils are in bloom, take afternoon tea on a
Daffodil Walk - Walk along the Malvern Hills and stand on the top of the
British Camp and survey the landscape as an ancient Briton. Take yourself
back in time to where William Langland 1332-1400? wrote his immortal lines
in Piers Plowman after supposedly falling asleep on the Malvern Hills
With hym ther was a
PLOWMAN, was his brother,
That hadde ylad of dong ful many a fother;
A trewe swynkere and a good was he,
Lyvynge in pees and parfit charitee.
(General Prologue, I.529-32)
