Welcome Hay Visitors
Discover Kington
Nestled on the Welsh border at the foot of Hergest Ridge, Kington is Herefordshire’s smallest and most westerly market town — just a lovely 20-minute drive from Hay-on-Wye.
Sitting on the English side of the border and on the Offa’s Dyke trail, Kington has a strong independent spirit and outdoor culture.
Perhaps unexpectedly, this small border town is also home to the UK’s first independent multi-brand barefoot shoe shop, attracting visitors from across the country.
Many visitors combine a trip to The Barefoot Shoe Box with a walk on Hergest Ridge or a visit to the beautiful Hergest Croft Gardens.
