Things to do

Fownhope is a vibrant community with lots to do

Local things to do include fishing, canoeing, horse riding and plenty of other outdoor activities, or you could treat yourself to easy time with gentle Herefordshire strolls, a look around the north of the county's black and white houses, the likes of Eastnor and Goodrich castles are within nine miles, or the Hereford Cider Route (picking up samples along the way, of course).

Some of our local attractions and events can be found by clicking on the pictures below.

Please do get in touch and let us know what else is going on in and around Fownhope
