  • On the banks of the River Wye a short stroll from Hereford centre
  • A 10-minute walk from the Mappi Mundi, Hereford Museum and lots more
  • Mooring and boat launch space along with spectacular river views
A site with rowing club in its name is pretty likely to be close to water. And so it is with Hereford Rowing Club, set on the banks of the River Wye with spectacular waterside views and steps leading down to the water. Pull up here to get your head down for a night on a canoeing trip, or make the club your base for days of rowing on the Wye or getting adrenalised along the river rapids (canoes and paddleboards can be delivered to the site if you need to hire either). Less actively, this excellent setting is only five minutes' walk from the centre of Hereford and the fab Mappi Mundi, and 20 miles from the acclaimed bookish town of Hay on Wye. Walks in the lush surroundings of Herefordshire and the Wye valley are also a big draw around here, as are the handsome villages of the Black and White Trail, within 15 miles, and sampling as much as poss of fresh Herefordshire produce and cider. The closest pub/restaurant to the site is within a few minutes' walk, and loads more pubs and restaurants (as well as nightclubs) are 10 minutes away in Hereford. Pitches are in a dog-friendly green field, with first-rate views of the Wye. The site has plenty of parking, mooring space and room to launch and land canoes and kayaks, along with shared amenities of showers, toilets, chemical disposal and a washing-up area. Barbecues and campfires are allowed as long as they're raised off the ground. There is a bar here, but please note that it may be closed inside at weekends during the evening because of private functions.

What customers say

Great spot near Hereford city centre & the River Wye for walks. Staff are super friendly & facilities are clean & good value. Mostly quiet, though some road noise. A few noted no electric hook-up & dated/stairs-access loos. Most would return!

Local attractions

This splendid setting close to the cathedral city of Hereford has it within a short stroll of many top Herefordshire attractions including Hereford Cathedral and the spectacular Mappi Mundi; Hereford Museum and Art Gallery; the Black and White Houses museum and the Hereford Cider Museum, all under 10 minutes' walk away. The Courtyard theatre and arts centre is within 15 minutes' walk. More top Herefordshire attractions a little further afield include the villages of the acclaimed Black and White Trail, a 40-mile circular trail around the county's half-timbered houses. The trail starts and finishes in the town of Leominster, well worth a potter around before or after the drive for its antiques and collectables (Weobley, Eardisland, Pembridge and Dilwyn are all top spots for pitstops). The gardens, parkland and 15th-century house of Hampton Court are 10 miles way, in the village of Hope under Dinmore, near Leominster. There's also the handsome riverside market town of Ross-on-Wye 14 miles away, above the Wye and with access to the Wye valley, the Forest of Dean and the popular village and famed viewpoint of Symonds Yat. Within 20 miles, browse the antique shops and many bookshops of Hay-on-Wye: buying a tome here is very much a must.
