Herefordshire Beacon - Malvern Hills"
The unusual lines on the hill are a series of extensive earth fortifications made as part of the Iron Age British Camp in the 2nd Century. The earthworks enclosed an impressive 44 acres.
These hills are famous for the quality of their water which attracted huge numbers of Victorian visitors who came to 'take the waters' and enjoy the splendid views.

Ledbury Tour Description:
"Ledbury is one of the nicest medieval market towns in England. This circular tour will weave in and out of ancient alleyways and burgess plots to explore the legend of St Katherine, the influence of the Bishop of Hereford, and why did little blue boy blow that horn? Surrounded by half-timbered houses, and cobbled streets we hunt out the poetical influences on Elizabeth Barrett-Browning, Robert Frost, and John Masefield and discover the literary influence of the forgotten Jacob Tonson. Along our route we uncover a hidden anti-reformation light, an unusual church tower, a tin armadillo, a civil war battlefield, impressive coaching inns and a quick lesson on how to eavesdrop. "
