To celebrate and mark the Wye Valley Walk's 50th anniversary year this year, the organisers have created 12 incredible walks, all led by local guides, across the county.  The schedule runs from April to October. 

Castle House is a great place to base yourself if contemplating any of the 12 walks.

An unique event celebrating the power of storytelling in understanding war, conflict and military heritage.  The festival brings together acclaimed authors, historians and military experts for 3 days of engaging talks and insightful discussions.  It focusses on military literature, memoirs, historical analysis and war writing and offers a rare opportunity to hear from leading voices in the field. Some of the acclaimed speakers include Philippe Sands, Peter Apps, Hilary Meredith Beckham, Sir Antony Beevor, Tessa Dunlop, Larry Lamb, Ben Macintyre and Clare Mulley.

Stay at Castle House for the weekend. Call reception for rates.
