The Golden Valley Pilgrim Way: Your Midpoint Sanctuary

Whether you are seeking a meaningful day walk or looking for the perfect place to rest while trekking the full Golden Valley Pilgrim Way, Warmth & Wonder offers a unique space for reflection and recovery. Stay in our stunning self-catering Barn or Bell Tent, or just access our Wild Sauna and perhaps a Breathwork session on your journey past...

The Ultimate "Pilgrim’s Rest"

For those undertaking the full 82-mile circular journey from Hereford Cathedral, we are perfectly positioned for a mid-route recovery. We believe a pilgrimage is best experienced at a "pilgrim’s pace"—slowly and intentionally—which is why we offer two ways to rest:

The Barn (Minimum 2–3 Night Stay): Designed for those who want a true rest during their journey. Spend a few days off the trail to wash your clothes, cook a hearty meal, and allow your body to recuperate before the final leg back to Hereford. Check availability
The Bell Tent: For pilgrims seeking a closer connection to the elements, our Bell Tent offers a simpler stay under the stars, with access to our camp kitchen, toilet and shower (seasonal availability). Enquire about Bell Tent

You don’t have to be an overnight guest to experience the healing power of Warmth & Wonder. Our Wild Sauna is available for private bookings, perfectly timed to coincide with your walk past our doorstep - and you can book a Breathwork session with Matt.

Perched on the hillside with panoramic views of the Black Mountains, the sauna is the ultimate antidote to "pilgrim fatigue."

Deep Heat: Soothe aching muscles and joints with wood-fired steam.
Cold Recovery: Invigorate your senses with our spring-fed cold plunge.
A Moment of Stillness: A 90-minute session provides a powerful meditative break before you continue your journey through the valley.

Advanced booking for both the sauna and breathwork is essential for those passing through. Get in touch

The Golden Valley Pilgrim Way is a spectacular 82-mile loop starting and ending at Hereford Cathedral. It celebrates the rich spiritual heritage of this hidden corner of Herefordshire. Find out more on the British Pilgrimage Trust website.

Detailed Route Info: You can find the path descriptions and maps via the Abbey Dore Deanery.
Our Location: We are situated near the halfway point of the loop, near Clodock.
