Many visitors who come to Ledbury have no idea what to expect and don’t stay long. We want to encourage them to stay, spend, enjoy and tell others, and we want to attract people who have never thought of visiting Ledbury.

We can now tell visitors of all the attractions of Ledbury and Herefordshire on the newly relaunched “Visit Herefordshire” website.

You can see the Ledbury entries at https://www.visitherefordshire.co.uk/see-do/city-towns/ledbury, or just type “visit Ledbury”.

It’s a bit empty at the moment. Ledbury Town Council is encouraging local businesses and attractions serving visitors to get their business listed so that visitors can see the full range of what Ledbury has to offer.

It’s going to be a busy year for our local tourist economy (we hope) – we want to get lots of Ledbury and district tourist serving businesses on the website as soon as possible.

For those of us who don’t run businesses, “Visit Herefordshire” gives us a new way to explore where to visit, shop or eat locally – perhaps when we have visitors to entertain – or we just want to do something different.

Businesses of all kinds that serve tourists in our county can list their details for free. Get started at https://directory.visitherefordshire.co.uk/. You can set up a directory listing on the website to market your business (or several businesses). Choose the categories that best describe your business, provide a description, and add photos and links to social media. It’s straightforward to do.

You can help – if you know of a local business that serves visitors, encourage them to get a listing on the “Visit Herefordshire” website.
