Herefordshire is truly a rural secret, diverse countryside of wooded rolling hills to meandering river valleys, the least populated county in England. Wander along leafy lanes through productive farmland of rich red soil to Market towns, Black and White timber villages, historic churches, border castles, glorious gardens and of course the Hereford Cathedral with the world famous Mappa Mundi and Chained Library.
Grafton Villa Farm lies only two miles from the Cathedral city of Hereford, yet is surrounded by an acre of lawns and gardens with panoramic views across farmland to Dinedor and Aconbury hill forts, so peaceful and relaxing.
