Kington

Not to be confused with Kingston.

Understand

Kington is a small market town in Herefordshire, lying on the River Arrow and alongside the Welsh border, in the shadow of Hergest Ridge. It is a popular stop-off point for people walking the Offa's Dyke Path.

Get in

Kington has no train service. Buses run from Leominster, Hereford, and nearby towns.

Get around

See
  • 🌍 Kington Museum, Mill Street. (updated Mar 2017)
  • 🌍 Hergest Ridge. Elongated hill, overlooking the town, and which traverses the border between England and Wales. (updated Jun 2018)

Do

Buy

The High Street is narrow and can be a little annoying with traffic but contains a number of interesting individual privately owned shops rather than the national chains you find in many towns.

Eat

Check out the pies from the butchers on the High Street. The Burton Hotel (see below) has a good restaurant.

Drink
  • 🌍 Ye Olde Tavern, 22 Victoria Rd. on the Campaign for Real Ale's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors. (updated Mar 2017)

gollark: Without API access, going over everything on the scroll is *annoying*. The only reason I can process eggs at all is because I spent ages on some regexes.
gollark: Yes, that's possible, except you can put in someone else's.
gollark: Isn't just *asking* what scroll an egg is from prone to misuse?
gollark: Yes, but people are unlikely to do that.
