National Trust - The Weir

The National Trust is Europe’s largest conservation charity and the wider National Trust team proudly look after 780 miles of coastline, over 250,000 hectares of land, over 500 historic houses, castles, ancient monuments, gardens, parks, and nature reserves.

With rural idylls, ancient forests, iron age sites, historic castles, and Capability Brown landscaped parkland; there is something for everyone at the National Trust in Herefordshire.

Just a few miles from the centre of Hereford and bordered by the River Wye, The Weir sits within unspoilt Herefordshire countryside and has many historical secrets to uncover. For centuries this site has been used as a pleasure ground for fishing, boating, and swimming. It is managed in a natural way to create a varied habitat for wildlife. In spring, see carpets of bulbs littered between ancient trees, in summer enjoy a picnic by the river to watch the wildlife and in autumn visit the walled garden bursting with seasonal produce.
