The village of Bredwardine lies in the heart of the Wye Valley, 12 miles from the Cathedral City of Hereford and 8 miles from the Literary Town of Hay on Wye.  The village is renowned as a fishermen’s destination with the  adjacent stretch of the River Wye, and one of the most sought after locations anywhere in the UK.  It is particularly popular with game and course fishermen alike with this particular stretch known for course fishing offering some of the best grounds in the country but the Wye is also synonymous with fly fishermen and the pursuit of salmon and trout.  It is also popular with outward bound enthusiasts it being located on the renowned Wye Valley Walk as well as the renowned Arthur’s Stone being nearby and the stunning advantage point of Merbach Hill.  Furthermore, Bredwardine’s Anglo Saxon Church of St Andrew attracts visitors not just because of its beauty and historic interest, but also as it is the final resting place of Francis Kilvert who was the curate here, renowned for his Victorian Diaries.

The Red Lion has been in the same family hands for 40 years.  It is well run, achieves an excellent levels of profit margins, but by our clients own admission has not been fully promoted on a commercial basis.  It is an iconic location for fishermen and there is no reason why the healthy level of revenue and profits that are currently generated could not be substantially increased upon, especially if it was to gain repute as a dining venue.  The property is Grade II listed and dates back to the 17th Century.
