Hiking
Below the gentle slopes of the surrounding hills, Kentchurch is a lovely village by the River Monnow in Herefordshire. According to some, it was the home of the legendary Jack o' Kent, a popular bogeyman figure in Herefordshire and Monmouthshire folklore. The Bridge Inn does excellent food.
The historic Kentchurch Court is a Grade I-listed building that dates back to the 14th century. It has seen many revamps, not least in the late 18th century when it was given a gothic remodelling by John Nash.
