Bromyard Gala
Herefordshire's biggest country show packs steam engines, classic vehicles, country pursuits and local produce into one action-packed arena day at Burgess Farm.
Avenbury is not a living village at all but a depopulated civil parish whose sole draw is a genuinely haunting ruined Norman church in riverside woodland, worth the detour from Bromyard for those who seek lost places rather than amenities.
