This tiny village is surrounded by woods, meadows and rivers, 13 miles west of Hereford and just east of the Welsh border. Self-catering holidays in Peterchurch are a great choice if you want to explore Herefordshire’s most spectacular scenery and prettiest market towns and villages. A Norman church looks over the centre of this welcoming community, which is home to a school, garage and scattering of independent businesses. There’s an excellent bistro, Food for Thought, where delicious food is prepared with meat from the local butcher, fruit and vegetables from the surrounding fields and fish straight from the coast. Just up the road, the Boughton Arms is an atmospheric pub, serving a selection of local ales.
