Byford to Lucksall

Start 10-8 miles north of the historical City of Hereford. Enjoy views of the Old Weir, a fine 1920’s garden owned by The National Trust and the famous Cathedral. Once through the city, the site of the Woolhope Dome, a famous Limestone outcrop, with its wooded slopes comes into view. Why not stop at the Bunch of Carrots at Hampton Bishop for a spot of lunch or a drink? Just a mile or so further on and you will notice the mouth of the River Lugg joining from your left. It is here that the Mordiford Dragon once came to water and feed. Only a short distance around the corner is Holme Lacy Bridge and your destination Lucksall Park

A great trip! Take in the sites of Hereford before enjoying some spectacular countryside. Starting in the City of Hereford, you will pass under the Old Bridge and enjoy unique views of the Cathedral. You have the option of stopping at the Bunch of Carrots at Hampton Bishop - although you still have some way to go on your journey! Meandering out to Holme Lacy and past the mouth of the smaller River Lugg, Holme Lacy Bridge comes into site. Our base, Lucksall Park is situated just 300metres after the bridge on the left. Take this opportunity to use the facilities and stock up on refreshments at the on-site shop. From Lucksall you will meander behind the village of Fownhope to the gentle rapid of Lee Brink. You now head out around a huge loop in the river taking you past the banked village of Ballingham and under the steep Caplor Woods. From here you head towards Carey islands and the ruins of the former railway bridge. Your destination is just after Hoarwithy bridge on the right hand bank where a gravel beach and steps mark the end of your journey. Camping is available at Tresseck Camp Site along with food and drink at the New Harp Inn.
