With exceptionally nice weather for this time of year and the weekend made it difficult to find lodging…..

We grabbed breakfast at a bakery in Monmouth and ate at the Monmouth bride, one of the last standing stone gates, where we watched the ducks and relaxed for a moment.

We climbed out of the valley through beautiful tree lined roads and fields of sheep We rode to Hereford along a river. Once in Hereford we stopped to see the cathedral. The cathedral had beautifully carved archways and stained glass. We stopped in the town square for jacket potatoes and a pork sandwich, Then it was off to more hills and lovely countryside.
