 Leominster
|
|
| Leominster,
a half-timbered town, or so it look like!, dating from the 7th
Century, and based on the wool trade and the export of the famous
Hereford breed of cattle. Medieval buildings all around this
town, overhanging the street, but take the time to look at the
church, the Old Priory, Grange Court, formerly the town hall,
and the Georgian streets. Good touring base for the whole of
the area.
Visit the half-timbered
villages of Weobley, Eardisland
and Pembridge.
