Overview

Join us for a lovely walk on open access land to the top of Hergest Ridge and a short climb to the top of Hanter Hill. On a clear day we should be able to see as far as Pen y Fan in the Brecon Beacons, the Black Mountain escarpment and the hills of Radnorshire Forest. We will be almost within touching distance of the oldest known rocks in southern Britain. It is easy walking with gradual inclines and grassy underfoot. We will finish with a light lunch at The Maples Tearoom at Hergest Croft Gardens.
