Leominster


We spent the weekend in Leominster with a couple of dozen friends and their children. Our group took over the Youth Hostel next to the old Priory Church, and spent out time walking, talking, eating & drinking. Leominster's pretty, with lots of half-timbered old buildings such as the Grange above.
The walking was mixed, with lots of stiles and muddy untrodden fields to traverse so our 10-mile round took over five hours. It was beautifully varied, however, with woods, fields, black-and-white villages and some terrific views from the iron-age fort at Croft Ambrey.

The teenagers were well behaved this time, and what smoking & drinking they did, was well hidden. Perhaps N+J will book for the next weekend away without throwing a hissy-fit.
