The Bridge Inn - Pub in Herefordshire
Michaelchurch Escley, Hereford, HR2 0JW, Herefordshire
England,
United Kingdom
Getting here is half the fun, in the wilds of Herefordshire, and it could be tricky in the dark! In a pretty spot down by the river, beneath the Black Hill of Bruce Chatwin fame, the 16th-century Bridge started life as a house, achingly lovely on its river side with willows weeping down the footbridge. Walkers descend, so do dogs, and families and shooting parties, and Glyn is the nicest host. Inside, hops hang from dark beams and the wood-burner belts out the heat, there are solid wooden pews and scrubbed pine tables. It's properly pubby yet there is an organic and fine wine menu. Eat in one of two dining areas with contemporary colours on the walls: our pints of Butty Bach slipped down nicely and our food – hake with seafood stew, and barbecue brisket – was very, very good.

Glyn Bufton & Gisela Vargas:
- Discover the Brecon Beacons National Park - its just out of our backdoor. Offa's Dyke path is about a 30 minute walk from the pub. We love to serve local produce and are surrounded by the beautiful Herefordshire countryside so have some great ingredients
- Have a romantic evening under the stars, the only Dark-Sky preserve in Wales is situated in the Brecon Beacons, on a clear night you can see the Milky Way, major constellations, and even meteor showers. It’s enough to make anyone starry eyed.
- Visiting fisherman love to enjoy the River Wye, the River Usk and also the Escley Brook with native wild brown trout. Llangorse is the largest natural lake in South Wales. It's famous for coarse fishing for pike. There are also perch, roach, bream & tench
- Being located on the Border between Hay on Wye and Abergavenny we are the perfect location to discover England and Wales. So we can help you to decide where to go for the day. We just love it here, it really is the best of both worlds.
- Take a relaxed stroll around a vineyard - Sugarloaf Vineyards (Abergavenny) offer self-guided & lead tours. Follow the vineyard trail and learn about the work that goes in to making a bottle of wine!
- David Blunkett - Former Home Secretary, said "our Lamb was the best he has ever tasted"
