Jake’s Cured Meats offers an inspiring example of rural entrepreneurialism, you really couldn’t have more of a family affair than this remarkable combination of young talent and passion, and all in the fantastic location of the deep Herefordshire hillsides that border the Black Mountains. Owner and Chef Jake Townley who gained a specialised chefs scholarship at the Academy of Culinary Arts is widely travelled and his travels have taken him as far and wide as New Zealand, where he met his wife Amie.

So, off he went again, to Tuscany, to study the Norcinis; the region’s pork butchers, and the art of making high quality, flavoursome cured meats. Now to bring this knowledge back to his home ground, along with Amie, […]

Customers can be heard commenting on how gorgeous and effective this looks and many say what a delight it is to see somewhere that sets the plants out in a different fashion.

At Newent Plant Centre there is a large stock of beautiful, well-kept and healthy plants.

The Godwins Hotel is a charming Grade II listed building noted for its striking red brick gothic appearance. It was built in 1879-1880 for William H Godwin of Godwins Tiles, who had their factory in the neighbouring village of Lugwardine. In October 1853 the Hereford Times declared of Godwins Tiles that “the variety of designs and the richness of the colours were alike and very much admired”. For half a century they enjoyed national and international acclaim and brought unprecedented attention to a quiet corner of Herefordshire. 150 years later these beautiful multicoloured tiles covering floors, fireplaces and wall borders are still appreciated by our guests. Outside there is a large car park with a lawn to one side and a stone-slabbed patio, plus a large children’s play area. One unusual feature is a large tree stump from which has been created some fascinating and quirky sculptures. The Godwins offers modern and stylish décor in their 6 luxurious bedrooms, that is perfectly complemented by period furniture, creating a contemporary yet comfortable ambiance within the walls of this extraordinary building. Guests are sure to enjoy a good night’s sleep and one of the rooms has a four poster bed. All rooms […]

This three-year Heritage Lottery Funded project will create a series of touring oral history films, pop-up exhibitions and catalogue and digitise up to 5,000 images from the photographic archive.
