The Local Area
explore kington: historic market town on the welsh border
Lying in the Arrow Valley in the shadow of the imposing Hergest Ridge, Kington is a tiny town with a big character. Explore the constellation of art galleries, shops and cafes lining its historic streets, then lace up those hiking boots. A hiker’s dream, Kington is surrounded by tempting routes, including Offa’s Dyke Path and the Mortimer Trail (which starts here) which both tell of the area’s tumultuous past. The town also hosts annual walking festivals.
