Why stay here ...
Purlbrook Farm site is set on open pasture land with superb southerly views across the Frome Valley and distant westerly views over Hereford City to the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons beyond. The pitches are enclosed by woodland and coppice to the North & East and are on a gentle slope with levelled/terraced hardstanding and grassed space for awnings etc. All are approached via a stoned road and each pitch has electrical hook up. There is a W. C. and usual waste disposal point.
The site is easily accessible being well set back from the A4103 and is a good base to explore Hereford City, with its Cathedral, Mappa Mundi Museum, etc. as well as the Wye Valley AONB. The popular market towns of Ledbury and Ross on Wye are nearby and the festival towns of Ludlow, Hay on Wye and Abergavenny are little more than half an hour away.
The site itself has direct access to local footpaths with glorious walks through mature deciduous woodland and over the local landmark of Shucknall Hill. There are three general stores within 2 miles, and pub/restaurant about the same distance. Hereford City is 5 miles away. The pasture field on the hill behind the site has a fire pit and barbecue area which visitors are welcome to use and enjoy even more extensive views over Herefordshire and The Welsh Marches.

An absolute gem
Lovely site Lovely owner Stupendous views We'll definitely be back. And yes - the approach is uneven. Drive slowly and sensibly and you'll be fine. 4WD is a benefit.

Not too bad
OK the drive up is a bit uneven due to the wet weather early in the year, but take it easy and all should be fine. We had a lovely few nights here the weather was superb for the time of year. A handy site for local towns and villages... Show more

Not THAT good…
Not sure why this site gets such rave reviews to be honest. We’ve had to stay here twice whilst having work done nearby on our van. The drive up from the main road is horrendous, pot holes and muddy, proper boneshaker. Yes the views are fab and it’s lovely and... Show more

Lovely views, a great stop over
This site is just outside Hereford and has fabulous views. For the price, it was a great site for my 1 night stopover. As noted on a previous review, the access road is a little rough and ready, but everything stayed in the cupboards 😊 I picked the flattest of the... Show more

This site has fantastic views from the pitches and very good field for dog walks. The owner was very relaxed and welcoming. The access to the site is off the main road and is a rough track up the hill to the site. I would say you need to... Show more

A lovely site set on a field away from the road. You can hear a bit of road noise but nothing too distracting. There are plenty of buzzards and other birds frequently around the site. The views are amazing. I was very surprised we were the only ones there for... Show more

Excellent CL
Stunning location. Good gravel access and well-spaced pitches all with power so good site all year. We were appreciative of the blocks to help with levelling. We found it an excellent base for some cycling on quiet lanes, and peaceful walks to the woods nearby.

Stunning views, great little site
Stayed here for two nights earlier this year. Owner very friendly and helpful, especially when we were having difficulties with our motor mover trying to site our van. Pitches are quite sloping, but plenty of blocks supplied. The views across the hills are stunning, could sit and look at them... Show more

The views are mesmerising...
Stayed here several times in our caravan, favourite CL, a hidden gem. Never tire of the view. The entrance track is a bit bumpy but it's a CL, I've known much worse, just take it steady. The track and gravel pitches should be good for all year round visits. The... Show more
