Country Brush Picture Framers & Art Gallery

A proper little find just outside Hereford, Country Brush Picture Framers & Art Gallery does exactly what it says on the tin - it's part working frame shop, part showcase for local and contemporary art. The space feels genuinely lived-in rather than precious, with original paintings and prints covering the walls alongside framing samples that show off the craftsmanship on offer. You'll see everything from landscapes to abstracts, and the staff actually know what they're talking about because they're the ones doing the framing work in the back.

It's the kind of place that appeals most to anyone with a genuine interest in art and craft rather than casual browsers looking for a quick cultural fix. Walkers heading to or from the Wye Valley often pop in, and it makes a sensible stop if you're exploring rural Herefordshire. The framing itself is worth paying attention to - the attention to detail in how pieces are mounted and presented tells you something about the owners' standards.

Based near Hereford with several campsites within a few miles - Tresseck Campsite is closest at 2.3 miles, with options like Woodland Tipi & Yurt Holidays and White House on Wye Glamping offering something a bit different if you want to stay regional. It's worth a look if you're in the area, though don't travel miles out of your way purely for this one. Allow thirty minutes to an hour, longer if you're actually thinking about commissioning a frame.
