Picture the scene: You arrive at one of the most hidden yet most beautiful spots in rural north Herefordshire where an array of the finest local food and drink has been painstakingly assembled to ensure a carefully selected range of stunning flavours. The aroma of sweet summer fruits, fine wines from the Wye Valley and crisp local ciders fill the air. They wait to be sampled along with delicately smoked seafood, speciality breads, lightly minted lamb and countless other offerings.
Every bite bears testament to the skill of the producers who put their heart and souls into every flavoursome mouthful. After some light sampling, you sit with a glass of freshly made lemonade and listen to the brass band play for a while before taking a Thai cookery lesson and browsing the bespoke arts and crafts marquee, lingering over the antiques section.
You head for a stroll around the beautiful nearby lake and arboretum before returning to peruse the horticultural exhibits, pausing over the scent of the award-winning herbs. You sample some more food, something sweet this time - organic ice cream or local chocolate - before choosing some of your favourite items to take home with you. You'll be back later for the Jazz evening just as the hog roast is served and real ale tapped. Tempted? Thought so. Click here for more info.
