Contemporary art meets rural Herefordshire at this independent gallery that's been quietly making waves in the local arts scene. The space showcases rotating exhibitions from emerging and established artists, with a particular focus on work that responds to the surrounding landscape and agricultural heritage of the county. Expect anything from striking photography of local farming life to abstract sculptures that play with themes of growth and harvest. The gallery occupies a converted barn-style building that gives visiting artworks plenty of breathing room, though the concrete floors can get a bit chilly in winter. Most exhibitions run for several weeks, so there's usually something fresh to see if you're staying in the area for a while. Art lovers will obviously get the most from a visit, but the quality is generally high enough to engage anyone with a passing interest in contemporary work. The staff know their stuff and are happy to chat about the pieces on display. Allow an hour or so for a proper look around, though you could easily spend longer if something catches your eye. It's a pleasant cultural diversion if you're based at one of the nearby campsites like Ridge Hill or Broadmeadow Glamping, and combines well with a trip into Hereford for supplies or a meal out.
