Part of Wigmore village centre Just a few of the many 'black and white' buildings to be found in Wigmore, and this area of North Herefordshire, and comprising just a part of the Black and white Trail through the villages of this 'rural backwater', as it is sometimes described. There is so much to see and discover in this locality - for my money the best corner of the county and well worth a visit by car and on foot. History, geology, ecology and plenty of other 'ologies' vie for the attention of the curious mind and there is a wealth of architectural heritage, great pubs and eateries, superb walking and the locals are a friendly bunch, unfailingly entertaining and engaging and keen to point tourists in the direction of their stated interests.
