Reaching Holme Lacy Church
St Cuthbert’s is beautifully and remotely situated, by the river Wye about 20 minutes south-east of Hereford.
The simplest way to navigate there is to put “St Cuthbert’s church, Holme Lacy” into Googlemaps.
Alternatively, having arrived in Holme Lacy, take the road signposted south to Holme Lacy House which is a Warner hotel. Shortly after passing the hotel entrance there is a left turn marked”Historic Church”.
