Accommodation overview: A wonderful discovery for families and friends, this detached property was originally two quarrymen’s cottages built in the early 19th century which have been very well extended and improved to provide spacious accommodation. Set within an Area of Natural Beauty, Wayfarers enjoys glorious views across rolling Herefordshire countryside to the Black Mountains of Wales. It lies within walking distance of the Worcestershire Beacon - the highest point of the Malvern Hills - and is the ideal starting point for the many walks which give panoramic views across the Severn Vale, as well as towards the west to Wales.
Wayfarers is perfectly located to explore the local attractions which include the Elgar route. The famous English composer lived in Malvern, and views from his house undoubtedly inspired him whilst writing his famous Enigma Variations. Eastnor Castle - a magnificent family home 2½ miles east of Ledbury - makes for an uplifting visit. It houses a fine collection of medieval armour, tapestries and paintings within its Gothic and Italianate interior. Set in a 5000-acre estate, it is surrounded by a deer Park, lake and arboretum. Great Malvern was renowned for its medicinal waters during Victorian time, and visitors can still try samples for themselves at St Anne’s Well. The Winter Gardens Pavilion is another attraction at Great Malvern - hosting the Almeida Drama Festival in August. The cathedral city of Worcester is approximately 8 miles away with its racecourse, riverbase, cinemas and shopping. Regency Cheltenham, Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon and the Cotswolds are within easy driving distance. There is a local shop less than a mile away, and supermarkets a 2-mile drive (½ mile on foot over the hills). Shop 1 mile, quiet, local pub just 200 yards. Very large living room with open fire.

Pilgrims in search of the true English countryside need look no further than the Cotswolds, considered by many to be one of the most beautiful areas in England. Several Cotswold villages, such as Bibury and Bourton-on-the-Water (both less than an hour’s drive), are famous as the quintessence of the English rural scene. Cheltenham (22 miles) is a spa town with elegant Regency architecture, tree-lined avenues, excellent shops and the home of National Hunt horse racing just north of town.
