Starting off our year of weekends away, we’re heading to Kington in Herefordshire for our first of many in 2027!

Booking opens: 4th January 2027

Price: TBC

Places available: 25

Can I bring my dog? TBC

Is bedding included? Yes, but you might prefer to bring your own pillow too.

Just by the English and Welsh border, we’ll be in easy reach of Offa’s Dyke - an 8th century earthwork border between Mercia and Wales built (or ordered to be built) by Offa, the king of Mercia. It won’t all be history - there are several marked ways which go from Kington, or we can hop our way into Wales, or even venture to Hay-on-Wye for a wander round some book shops.

Weekends Away are only open to Ramblers members. You will need to arrange your own transport, although the group will try to put people in touch to arrange lift shares. The nearest train station is in Hereford and there are buses to Kington.

We have exclusive use of the bunkhouse from Friday afternoon (time TBC), but you are welcome to arrive at any time after that. Some people like to travel early to make the most of the day, while others prefer to travel after work. The finish time will depend on how long any walks on Sunday take before returning home. We have to check out of the bunkhouse before 10:00.
