Hellens
Recommended by
Overview
Run by a family trust, Hellens Manor is a house with its fair share of history. It also contains a wealth of period furnishings, paintings and decorations. In the late 11th century, the house was granted to the de Balun family, one of whom was a witness to the signing of the Magna Carta. It then passed through the hands of a number of families, until it was leased to Walter de Helyon, whose family gave their name to the house, and whose descendants still live in the manor. Among its attractions, Hellens can boast a room prepared for Mary I, daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon; a stone hall with a great fireplace bearing the crest of the Black Prince; a music room with amazing modern curtains, and gardens that include an octagonal dovecote, a knot garden, a yew maze, a coach house with coaches, and a cider mill house.

About the area
Herefordshire is split in two by the River Wye which meanders through the county on its way to the Severn and the sea. Largely rural, with Hereford, Leominster, and Ross-on-Wye the major towns and cities, its countryside and ancient villages are the county’s major asset.
