"The Old Vicarage welcomes you into its hearty Victorian gothic embrace, all period half tester brass beds, antique marble sinks and blue sandstone fireplaces. Conveniently, it comes supplied with miles of great walking country between Ludlow and Hay and great nosh."
The Guardian Travel section
Norton is half way between Ludlow (famous foodie market town) and Hay on Wye (the town of books). Nearby Presteigne, a delightful borders town nestling on the River Lugg, boasts the award winning Judge's Lodging Museum. Set in fabulous walking country, The Old Vicarage is a short walk from some of the best preserved and most beautiful stretches of the Offa's Dyke Path National Trail. The cathedral city of Hereford, Croft Castle & Berrington Hall (both National Trust properties), the Wye Valley, Brecon Beacons, the Cambrian Mountains and the spectacular Victorian dams in the Elan Valley are all a scenic drive away.
The Old Vicarage is redolent of the sumptuous comforts of Victorian Gothic. Set in a delightful garden, it is the perfect place to relax, away from the cares of the world and the hubbub of the television. You will have time to watch the bullfinches, listen to the cry of the buzzards and rediscover the rhythm of the seasons. Radnorshire and the Marches are sparsely populated. The winding rivers, green valleys, dramatic hills and ancient villages and churches are secrets waiting to be discovered.
