Ledbury has excellent transport links with the M50 (Junction 2) just four miles South of the

town and a train station on the Hereford to London Paddington line.

 

   Ledbury acts as a crossroads with the A449 from Ross-on-Wye leaving Ledbury towards Malvern and Worcester. Meanwhile the A417 from Gloucester enters Ledbury at the Southend and exits at the Homend to become the Hereford Road. Three miles on at the Trumpet the A417 turns right towards Leominster.

 

   Our rail links take the traveller to Worcester with the choices of Birmingham, Oxford and London ahead. To the West lies Hereford and further rail links South to Abergavenny, Cardiff and Swansea and North to Leominster and Ludlow.

 

   The M50 begins at Ross-on-Wye and heads North-East to meet the M5. Southwards the M5 goes to Tewkesbury, Cheltenham and Bristol, while Northwards it heads to Worcester and Birmingham.
