Weobley ranked most stylish place to live in Herefordshire

The pretty village, which is surrounded by rolling hills and beautiful countryside, was the highest rated location in the county in a list of the UK’s most stylish places by online store Furniturebox.

Unsurprisingly, fellow black and white villages Eardisland and Eardisley were second and third respectively, followed by Staunton on Wye and Ledbury. 

Locations were ranked according to the beauty of the buildings, the stunning scenery and their popularity with artists and as a filming location.

Furniturebox polled 5,000 people with panels in each county including Herefordshire.

Overall, Weobley came 26th on the national list which was topped by Lavenham in Suffolk.

A Furniturebox spokesperson said: “Weobley is the most stylish place to live in Herefordshire.

“Any of the Herefordshire locations voted by residents would have been worthy winners and show why it is such a stylish county, loved by artists, film-makers and tourists from all over the world.

“What is interesting is how many of the most stylish locations were not the most affluent places in their locality.

“Good style can be achieved whatever your budget and what marks out Herefordshire's most stylish places is how they all have a timeless quality achieved over generations by the stylish people living there.

“That same sense of style is true with furniture and having a good eye for the right piece for your home is far more important than how much money you have to spend.”
