Bromyard is situated in the valley of the River Frome, near to the county border with Worcestershire, on the A44 between Leominster and Worcester. Mentioned in the Domesday Book, the name Bromyard derives from the Old English, ‘an enclosure covered or fenced with Broom or Gorse’. In the reign of Charles ll, when John Ogilby set about producing the first road atlas, the “Britannia”, on the highway between Oxford and “Aberistwith”, he observed that Bromyard Downs were a mass of ‘Furrs and Ferns’.
And the town layout has changed little since Ogilby’s day. Follow our Town Trail to view fine black and white half-timbered buildings, Georgian and Victorian facades, the Norman church and a toll-house, then perhaps drop into the History Centre to discover your roots, visit the Sci-Fi exhibition, arts and craft galleries, indulge in some retail therapy - relax in an inn, a café or a pub…

Witley Court, Great Witley, Worcestershire, England is a ruined Italianate mansion. Built for the Foleys in the seventeenth century on the site of a former manor house, it was enormously expanded in the early nineteenth century by the architect John Nash for Thomas Foley, 3rd Baron Foley. The estate was later sold to the Earls of Dudley, who undertook a second massive reconstruction in the mid-19th century, employing the architect Samuel Daukes to create one of the great palaces of Victorian and Edwardian England.
The declining fortune of the Dudleys saw the sale of the court after the First World War to a Kidderminster carpet manufacturer. In 1937 a major fire caused great damage to the court, the estate was broken up and sold and the house was subsequently stripped of its fittings and furnishings. Forty years of decay followed before the house and grounds were taken into the care of The Department of the Environment in 1972. Since that point, significant restoration and stabilisation have secured the house as a spectacular ruin.
Witley Court, and the attached Church of St Michael and All Angels, are both Grade I listed buildings

We love visiting the Regal - lots of great shows and a wonderful community asset run by local volunteers on show times.
The Regal Cinema opened on Thursday July 29th 1937 but the building to which alterations were made in 1936 to construct the foyer, offices and projection room, had stood on the site for many years.
In this picture of 1904 the building looks very much like it does today. If you look closely you can see the awning outside one of the shops.
The cinema retained its Victorian front with its columns until 1969 when it started to fall down and was rendered over and lost much of its character. It was probably about this time that the regal neon sign was removed.
W H B Ashley who sold 47 and 49 Teme Street to Mr. N J Robson of Craven Cinemas Ltd. is shown as head of the household on the 1911 census aged 39. His father William Ashley was living there in 1881 when WHB (William Henry Barnard) was eight.

Walking
The Bromyard Downs covers 114 hectares of common land and has long been known locally as the Jewel of Herefordshire and with good reason. This vast expanse of land, which formed part of the ancient Manor of Bromyard, offers gentle climbs, ancient woods, impressive views and an abundance of nature. It’s easy to access all year round and is directly connected to both Bringsty Common and the Brockhampton Estate. And yet it still feels undiscovered. On any given day, watching the sunset from this spot can feel like a private show of nature’s best.
The Downs has long been associated with agriculture as well as leisure. You can still see the signs of the old drovers paths - the routes that drovers used throughout Britain to take their livestock to market. On the Downs, you’ll find the cobbled cart pond and ‘halfpenny field’ where drovers would have been charged half a penny per animal to let them graze or stay overnight.
There are even traces of the racecourse that was once here, along with a bowling green, rifle butts and two underground bunkers that were built in the adjoining Warren Wood in case of invasion during the Second World War.
As for refreshments, there are picnic benches along the minor road which cuts through the common land and next to the main car park is the Royal Oak pub with plenty of outdoor seating.

Bromyard Downs
The Bromyard Downs covers 114 hectares of common land and has long been known locally as the Jewel of Herefordshire and with good reason. This vast expanse of land, which formed part of the ancient Manor of Bromyard, offers gentle climbs, ancient woods, impressive views and an abundance of nature. It’s easy to access all year round and is directly connected to both Bringsty Common and the Brockhampton Estate. And yet it still feels undiscovered. On any given day, watching the sunset from this spot can feel like a private show of nature’s best.
The Downs has long been associated with agriculture as well as leisure. You can still see the signs of the old drovers paths - the routes that drovers used throughout Britain to take their livestock to market. On the Downs, you’ll find the cobbled cart pond and ‘halfpenny field’ where drovers would have been charged half a penny per animal to let them graze or stay overnight.
There are even traces of the racecourse that was once here, along with a bowling green, rifle butts and two underground bunkers that were built in the adjoining Warren Wood in case of invasion during the Second World War.
As for refreshments, there are picnic benches along the minor road which cuts through the common land and next to the main car park is the Royal Oak pub with plenty of outdoor seating.
his 9 mile (15 km) range of 20 named peaks has over 100 miles of footpaths for humans and dogs to enjoy. While you are delighting in the beautiful scenery and far reaching views, your dog can relish in all the new smells and open spaces to run.
