Luxury self-catering accommodation in Leominster
This pretty medieval market town sits in prime walking territory, right on the borders of Shropshire and Herefordshire and within easy distance of several rivers.
Hugging the Welsh and English border, Leominster sits proudly with its iconic black and white buildings, dating back to ancient times. This historic town is based around an Anglo-Saxon abbey and gets an early mention in the Domesday Book, as a medieval trading hub. To get a flavour of the surrounding area, take the scenic 40km Black and White Village driving trail around the locale, stopping off in all the tiny towns to enjoy the wooden-beamed buildings and potter around the shops. With sheep being plentiful here, Leominster's main trading offering was wool.
A bounty of medieval and Tudor buildings as well as Georgian, are a result of the towns booming trade. These days Leominster is better known as being a gateway from England to Wales and a picturesque shopping point offering a perfect destination for a self-catering holiday. With the nearby hay literary festival a pull for many book-lovers, as well as specialist and farmers markets occurring on a regular basis for the foodies, be sure to stock up on local goodies and a good read to take back and enjoy in your luxury self-catering holiday home.
