I spent a lot of my childhood visiting my maternal grandmother in Leominster. It's a nice, small, quiet town, as far as I remember. The chippy is fantastic! Near enough to Hereford too, which is handy. There's a sunflower field somewhere between Leominster and Worcester, which is beautiful. And it's not too far from the Brecon Beacons!
That's the impression I got poking around online. And thanks for the tip about the sunflower field, that sounds magical!
Oh! Christmas, and maybe Halloween - there's an estate up towards the top of Leominster, with a road in it called Pump Piece. We used to visit that road every Christmas and walk around the estate, the houses around there go all out with their Christmas decorations and they're remarkable and unique. Probably quite tacky, but not in the same way that most other majorly decorated houses I've seen - the decorations are different, and cool. I remember one house that seemed to have a projector showing slides of old Christmas art out the front. It's very cute. Awh man I miss Leominster... Or maybe I just miss being a kid 😂
That's actually super good intel, since we're visiting the weekend before Xmas! Thanks. And yeah, it's easy to lose the wonder of youth, but easily rekindled in the right company 😛
Awh no way haha. Enjoy! I hope Leominster treats you well 🙏
