The best campsites near Hereford with horseback riding

·

Arranged around a resplendent cathedral and abutting the wending River Wye, Hereford is a handsome, refined and handy small city for launching forays into the fetching surrounding nature. National cycle routes pass through the city, as do long-distance paths like the Wye Valley Way, and kayaking on the River Wye is popular. The northern edge of the Wye Valley AONB is merely a few miles southeast, with many more cycling, walking, kayaking and horse-riding opportunities. Hereford and its surroundings are famed for their cider: don’t miss trying some during your stay at an area campsite.

If you’re lucky, you’ll get to see at least one of the amazing sunsets at Red Sky at Night Campsite near Monmouth – but if you don’t, there’s mighty compensation in the shape of the spectacular views from just about everywhere on the site. And of course, on clear nights, the night skies are diamond-bright with stars - we are under one of Wales' Dark Sky Reserves! This family-run camping field on a livestock farm is managed on very laidback lines. Pitch up wherever you like and feel free to park by your tent (weather permitting). Raised campfires are allowed and you can hire firepits and grills (the owners sell local eggs & sausages) and buy bags of wood & kindling. You can bring your dogs too (take them for walks in the adjoining woods) but just be sure to keep them on a lead. Kids are certainly carefully looked after here. Get a fact sheet on arrival and join mini-campers in wildlife hunts through the trees, looking out all the while for buzzards and red kites. Round and about the site, your offspring can entertain themselves on rope swings, making dens and following a mini-tractor course across the camping field. There’s also a football pitch. Wild camping this may be (there’s no electricity on site, please note) but there are two nicely designed compost loos and a covered sink areas with fresh water tap. So bring your guitar, light that fire, break out the barbecue and enjoy the chilled vibe.

Our Yurt is set up in the trees giving you peaceful seclusion and a clear view across the sea to Wales and the mountains of the Brecon Beacons. A huge range of activities are possible or you can lie in the hammock with a good book. We have very friendly dogs and rescue chickens who may come and visit. Wild deer wander past in the early morning mist and the odd buzzard picks an argument with a bunch of crows but nothing much else should disturb you. We moved here after an 18 month search 8 years ago. It was close to everything we wanted and we've spent some time getting a bit closer.

The best campsites near Hereford with horseback riding guide

Where to go

Wye Valley

In the 18th century, the Wye Valley was where modern UK tourism began as people flocked to the picturesque landscapes described in William Gilpin’s Observations on the River Wye. This steep-sided woodsy AONB straddling the England-Wales border begins five miles southeast of Hereford, at Mordiford, then stretches 37 miles south to Chepstow. The region boasts glamping pods, small farm campsites, and motorhome sites, plus some of England’s best kayaking.

Black Mountains

The Black Mountains flank the eastern end of Brecon Beacons National Park, a dark, brooding wedge of hills running from Hay-on-Wye, 20 miles west of Hereford, to Abergavenny. From Hay-on-Wye, the Vale of Ewyas road runs through the heart of the mountains.

Malvern Hills AONB

Travel 20 miles east of Hereford and, just as when you head south or west, you reach another gorgeous protected tract of countryside, the grassy spine of the Malvern Hills, beyond gateway town Ledbury. The range is small in extent (eight miles long) but has excellent hiking, cycling and horse-riding on well-defined trails. The first campsite you hit in the AONB is one of the best, in the landscaped environs of Eastnor Deer Park.

When to go

July and August are popular, warm, sunny months, when you can expect temperatures to be above 20°C. However, delaying your visit to early autumn, when the weather can still be decent, means you can experience apple harvest season: a 50-mile driving and cycling route around the nearby Herefordshire countryside explores the region’s renowned cider-making hotspots. Hereford’s proximity to the Welsh mountains means wet weather is more likely than in Southern and Eastern England.
