Upper Town Herefordshire Map

About Upper Town

Upper Town breathes the quietude of Herefordshire's rolling farmland, a cluster of dwellings breathing in the West Midlands air. It lies 8.7 km south-west of Bromyard (from Bromyard: bearing 231°T, OS grid SO 585 492), and is situated north-north-west of Burley Gate village. The lanes here, often bordered by hedgerows thick with hawthorn and dog rose, wind with a gentle logic that seems to echo the slow turning of the seasons. Sunlight, when it breaks through the frequent cloud cover, has a peculiar softness, illuminating the fields of barley and pasture with a pale gold that speaks of enduring cultivation. There are no grand monuments in Upper Town, but the simple solidity of its stone farmhouses, their roofs often mended with the warm terracotta of old tiles, offers a different kind of permanence. The land itself, a rich loam, holds the memory of generations of ploughs, its contours shaped by the persistent hand of agriculture.
