The Hostelrie at Goodrich is close to the 12th Century Goodrich Castle – the only remaining fortress in Herefordshire, where its last inhabitant was Charles 1 during the Civil War – Today, it is the visitor who occupies the castle and ponders on what life was like in its heyday. Locally, Coppitt’s Hill is owned by the villagers and affords magnificent views of the area. Its unspoilt and natural paths are used in many films and documentaries, such as the most recent Harry Potter movie. The Hostelrie at Goodrich is a quiet stopping off place from which to explore many beautiful areas of the English and Welsh border, such as the Royal Forest of Dean, literally minutes away and offering woodland walks and rich industrial history; to the west lie the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains whilst to the east is the Cotswolds with its many ‘picture postcard’ villages.
The Wye Valley is famous for its spectacular vistas whilst accommodating the bustling towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth.
The area has excellent outdoor leisure activities abound, ideal for the individual or group activities including canoeing or fishing on the River Wye, walking, climbing, pony trekking, tree top climbing, cycling, golf, caving, wind-surfing, paint-balling and shooting or why not take a balloon flight and see all the splendour from a different vantage point.If you require assistance to plan these activities and wish to enjoy the discounts we have arranged for you as a staying customer of The Hostelrie at Goodrich or want to find out about other local events in the area, then please contact us here.
