Heritage Day at The Oxford, as part of the Herefordshire Histories Festival

Drovers walking tour starts from The Oxford Arms at 10am

The Oxford will be open from 1-5pm, bar and café open throughout

Herefordshire Histories Festival runs from 10th-18th May, and to mark it we’ll be celebrating Kington’s droving history with activities, films, and displays for all the family.

From 10am, join our guided walk in the footsteps of the drovers (6 miles over moderate terrain, approximately 3 hours, free of charge). Expect fascinating history and gorgeous views as you take a walk back in time along key droving routes in and around Kington via Park Wood and Hergest Ridge - wear suitable walking shoes, dress for the weather and bring water/a drink of choice. Meet Annie at The Oxford Arms at 10am, returning to The Oxford for lunch around 1pm

From 1pm, The Oxford will be open, serving “Drover’s Bait” ploughman's lunches, as well as the usual offerings from our bar and caravan café. Throughout the afternoon, films on Kington’s droving history and its pubs will be showing in the barn, while there will also be activities for kids.
