  • Family- and dog-friendly pub site a mile from Leominster on the A44
  • A 20-minute drive from Ludlow; 25 minutes from Hereford
  • Home-cooked meals, play area and 24-hour access to facilities
If you’re the type who loves the outdoors but is also rather fond of finishing a day out with a good feed and a proper pint, then it’s likely you’ll do rather well indeed at Barons Cross Inn. This welcoming pub site is in a highly handy Herefordshire location, a mile outside of Leominster on the A44 and sitting in a sweet spot in the middle of a triangle that has the Malvern Hills, the Shropshire Hills and the Brecon Beacons at its points. All of that means heaps of walks to be had in the vicinity, along with pretty villages to potter around (some of the best are linked on the nearby Black & White Trail driving route). Whatever you choose to do by day, you’ll surely be keen to get back to the pub, where the chef preps meals made with locally sourced ingredients (but kept at pub prices) and there’s a tempting collection of beers, ciders and wines. There's often something going on, such as quiz nights or live music, and everyone is made to feel welcome by the friendly staff. Restless kids and dogs can be entertained at the play area and the neighbouring field respectively. Guests have 24-hour access to a shower room and washing-up facilities. Breakfasts are available every day, and you’re welcome to light up a barbecue if you fancy doing your own cooking (there’s a supermarket five minutes’ walk away and a bus stop just outside the pub for easy access to shops).

What customers say

This is a pub-based campsite with a focus on friendly staff and good food, offering electric hook-ups and water at pitches. Many praise the food and atmosphere of the pub, with some recent reviews mentioning ongoing improvements. However, toilet and shower facilities receive mixed feedback, with some finding them dated, unclean, or insufficient, particularly overnight. The site's upkeep and tidiness are also noted as areas for improvement by some visitors.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Nice open space. Lots of room. Bus stop outside. Easy to find.

Disliked Run down. Very tired. Scruffy. No toilet access. Shower - well didnt even attempt it ! Very poor washing up facilities. No food at pub. Very sad indeed. It's a shame really, as could be lovely. Lots of traffic noise. Am afraid Pitch - up got it wrong this time!

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked Closeness to the town.

Disliked Very run down and the pictures are not a true reflection of the site today.
Bins overflowing.
Rubbish left on pitches.
Beer barrels, broken chairs, general waste around the elsan point.
Needs a lot of love to bring it back to where it should be.
No chef in the pub.
No seating in the pub beer garden!

I heard that the site is being redeveloped with a housing and a supermarket so I can see why the above has happened.
I would close the site now!

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked Our 2nd time we have been to Barons cross, and was told that as from this November they have been given a compulsory order to leave as the owner has sold the land to make way for housing, it was very upsetting for the staff and for all that use the camping.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Perfect little place to pitch, a big area/field behind and connected to a nice little pub. I stayed in a car camper and had no issues. The owners are super nice, welcoming and accommodating. Great food as well at the pub. Didn’t use the shower but the toilet and wash room was available as long as I was awake. Not sure if it’s accessible 24/7.

Local attractions

Start with a little stroll around Leominster, a mile away – it’s a handsome market town with a grand priory and streets lined with independent shops to poke around in. For more active times, it’s also got a swimming pool and a golf course (about 10 minutes’ drive from the pub). If you’d like to take your urban wanders a little further, check out the foodies’ fave Ludlow (20 minutes’ drive) or head into Hereford (25 minutes) to see the cathedral, the Mappa Mundi exhibition and the Hereford Cider Museum. Keeping it all a little more country, venture to the Small Breeds Farm Park and Owl Centre (20 minutes) to get up close to the animals, wander through Westonbury Mill Water Gardens (15 minutes) or learn a little bit about cheesemaking at Monkland Cheese Dairy (five minutes). If you’re heading out for a hike, the Shropshire Hills, Malvern Hills and Brecon Beacons are all within 40 minutes’ drive.
