Aymestrey Village and Riverside Country Inn

Highlight • Settlement

On the banks of the River Lugg, nestled deep in the heart of North Herefordshire's Marches, is the lovely village of Aymestrey. This is an ideal base for exploring the hilly woodland of the Mortimer Forest and the wider Welsh Marches region. To the north east are Croft Ambrey's Iron Age earth embankments and to the west are the wooded flanks of Mere Hill Wood.

There's a choice of accommodation in the village, with the 16th-century, black and white timbered Riverside Country Inn boasting excellent food as well as cosy rooms. There are also lodges and a holiday park in the village, as well as further options in the surrounding countryside.

The Riverside Inn

Highlight • Pub

An absolute delight to stay and dine at this lovely Inn. The staff were amazing and we both said it was the best Sunday dinner we'd ever had with local produce and beautiful tasty flavours. Not many places have nettle cake on the menu for dessert with clotted cream ice-cream yum yum. If your ever in the area I couldn't recommend dining here enough.

Lingen Motte-and-Bailey Castle Earthworks

Highlight • Historical Site

Nestled in the rolling countryside of the Marches, Lingen is a pleasant little Herefordshire village. Like many in the region, it was home to a Norman motte-and-bailey castle. All that remains are the earthworks.

There is a wealth of hiking potential in the surrounding wooded hills. Real ales, log fires and traditional home cooked food can be sought at the Royal George, the village's pub. It is worth noting that it is only open for lunches on Sundays.

St Michael and All Angels Church, Lingen

Highlight • Other

Lingen village is in the north-western area of Herefordshire, close to the boarder with Wales.
Included in the Domesday Book in 1086 the village was mostly concerned with farming until very recently. There is the remains of a Motte and Bailey castle a little north of the village.
