Big enough to be bustling and vibrant, but small enough to keep a strong sense of community, Ledbury is a market town with a unique feel.
At the centre of Ledbury is the Black and White Grade 1 listed Market Hall. Reportedly designed by the King’s Carpenter John Abel, building work on Market Hall started in 1617 and took around 50 years. It is one of the finest examples in England and still hosts markets on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
If you are interested in exploring Ledbury and the surrounding area on two wheels, including the unique cider cycling route.
Victorian poet legend Elizabeth Barratt-Browning lived at Hope End on the outskirts of Ledbury. John Masefiled – Poet Laureat of the United Kingdom from 1930 – 1967 – was born in the town in 1878. The Dymock Poets – a 20th century group were based around the nearby Gloucestershire village that gave them their name.
Taking place over 10 days every July, The Ledbury Poetry Festival has become the leading poetry festival in the UK, featuring poets from all over the world. Visit the festival and enjoy readings, performances, films, workshops and more.
A number of timbered buildings align the charming Ledbury High Street. Pop into Ledbury Town Hall to view the 16th century painted room or walk up a cobbled street to the Butcher Row House Museum which offers a fascinating glimpse into local Victorian life.

This beautiful country of ours has many tricks up her sleeve. Nowhere more so than here in Gloucestershire, as the largest and oldest vineyard. Plan a guided tour of the vineyard or stop off for a bite to eat or pop into the shop for some lovely Bristish wine.
