Fantastic time on a COVID rainy day with the kids. Everything set out clearly and safe. A clear, engaging explanation for the kids (4,7,9), who loved it. Lovely coffee! And as a bonus, when we had finished one staff member painted special eyes on to our pottery characters making them about 100 times better! Fantastic place, totally recommend.

Lived near Ledbury for many years and occasionally pop into the town for a bite to eat and beer and have always walked passed this museum. But today, did actually venture in and have a look around this and the heritage centre across the street. It is quite small and won't fill your day like a theme park. But for half an hour, it's gives a very interesting insight to the towns history. The chap in the museum was very friendly and sparked real enthusiasm with my children about the place(and one of them is 17 so takes some doing!!), which made them much more receptive to the exhibition pieces. The museum is all based on donations, so you really don't have anything to loose. Also, it's perfectly located next to the Prince of Wales pub. Ideal if you need a rest after doing all that history stuff :)

Just such a photogenic structure which oozes a sense of social history. In fact, very much in keeping with the rest of Ledbury. Very enjoyable.

10. Ledbury Parish Church St. Michaels and All Angels
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By milimana - Worcester, United Kingdom
There's a lot to see in this large parish church with its handsome nave and wide aisles with their fine rows of windows giving a sense of space (quite unlike the chancel with its rough limestone walls and porthole clerestory windows). There are plenty of memorial slabs on the floor, and other interesting monuments dotted over the walls. The best windows, with ballflower decoration, are in the north chancel chapel and are reminiscent of the finer ones at Leominster. It is worth finding the 'hidden' red glass window, set so high above the main east window that it is impossible to see from most angles. You need to stand in a central position about three feet back from the chancel steps; a couple of paces in any other direction and it disappears - very clever. The separate tower is as good a place as any to see the variety of building stone used and the mixture of grey Silurian limestone and Old Red Sandstone reflects the nearby geological boundary.
