http://www.countrysole.org.uk/CountrySOLE_Maps/CS_maps.html CountrySOLE can be accessed around halfway along the A4111 between Eardisley and Kington. It is around 20-30 mins drive West of Hereford and around 15 mins East of Hay on Wye. The nearest train station is Hereford or Leominster and the nearest airport is Birmingham (1 1/2 hrs drive) or Bristol (2 hrs drive). If approaching from Eardisley
turn right at the sign marked "Lemore Manor". If approaching
from Kington turn left at the sign. CountrySOLE is accessible by
bus and we can advise on routes/timetables as well as provide a pick up if
necessary. A car is useful for exploring the surrounding countryside but
we encourage the use of public transport, bikes and feet as much as
possible!
