This Sunday: Another chance to get a taste of droving life!

Last Sunday’s Heritage Day was so much fun, and we had a great turnout in spite of the awful weather… However, a lot of people hoping to attend the Drover’s Walk were deterred by the rain and mud, so we thought - why not do it all again this Sunday!

10am - Guided walk in the footsteps of the drovers (6 miles over moderate terrain, approximately 3 hours, free of charge)

Expect fascinating history and gorgeous views as you take a walk back in time along key droving routes in and around Kington via Park Wood and Hergest Ridge - wear suitable walking shoes, dress for the weather and bring water/a drink of choice. Meet Annie at The Oxford Arms at 10am, returning to The Oxford for lunch around 1pm

11am-4.30pm - Bar and café open, serving traditional “drover’s bait” ploughman’s lunches (crusty bread, generous wedges of Shropshire Blue and mature cheddar cheeses, optional cooked ham, pickles and salad - we HIGHLY recommend!). Plus homemade cream teas and cakes - who could resist?
GF bread & cake options available 🙂

All day - Film
