On top of the ridge is an old Victorian racetrack and wild ponies graze freely. Here you can look over towards the Black Mountains of Wales and the Malvern Hills of Worcestershire, with uninterrupted English and Welsh countryside landscapes all around. Steepholm is close to the market town of Kington (also walkable across open fields) where you’ll find shops, supermarkets, and places to eat out. Within a 30-mile radius of the accommodation lies the Historic city of Hereford, with its beautiful cathedral and Mappa Mundi, and the towns of Leominster, Ludlow, and Hay-on-Wye. Locally, the Black and White housing trail, Hergest croft gardens, and the Small Breeds and Owl farm park, are all well worth a visit.

Beautiful views from this property and handy for shops in Kington. Small animal and owl centre just down the road and well worth a visit.

Steepholm is a fantastic base to enjoy the beautiful rural countryside. There are many walks in all directions starting from the bungalow. The home is very comfortable with quality furniture to relax in. Although the shower is over the bath, it is very powerful with plenty of hot water. To top of a great stay, Margery the owner couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. Thank you for being a great host. All in all a very peaceful holiday.
