Towns and Viillages to visit in Herefordshire

The county of Herefordshire is famous for its Black and White villages - locations blessed with medieval half-imbered buildings. While not all the villages on this list can claim to be 'black and white', there are some lovely places to visit.

 Castle Frome
We had the pleasure of visiting here, and our information is based on our personal experiences  

Castle Frome The estate of Castle Frome was owned by King Harold before the Norman Conquest. The name 'Frome', which is also found in the nearby villages of Canons Frome and Bishop's Frome, is supposedly derived from the Latin 'formosus, meaning beautiful. Certainly, the little village of Castle Frome seems a peaceful and idyllic spot today.
