The rolling terrain and river valleys provide the ideal backdrop for the full range of outdoor activities. Whether your enthusiasm is for riding the rapids or long distance canoeing, riding the airwaves by paraglider or microlight, Herefordshire is the place for you.
Fish beside the Wye watching the dragonflies or pack up a picnic and spend the day canoeing down the river, breaking the journey on the bank. The country lanes and tracks are ideal for cycling and riding. Cycle hire is available and there are riding schools with lessons for the beginner to the experienced or just leading a hack through the peace and tranquillity of the landscape. The Three Rivers Ride, a long distance riding trail from the Brecon Beacons to Tidbach, Worcestershire, crosses the county to the north. Have a look at www.ride-uk.org.uk.
There are excellent golf courses including Kington Golf Club, the highest eighteen holes in England with spectacular views. For the truly adventurous, there are opportunities to try climbing, caving, kayaking or archery for individuals or groups and two very popular mountain boarding venues.
In the greenest, most rural countryside and surrounding hills, there is always something to do for the whole family.
