Brief description

"Bromyard is often referred to as “The Town Of Festivals”. 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…"
