Presteigne, a historic village on the border of England and Wales that sits along the banks of the River Lugg, has been named one of Country Life magazine's top 10 towns in Britain. The town's abundance of black and white timbered buildings, narrow cobbled streets, unique shops, tea rooms, and traditional pubs, along with the acclaimed Judges' Lodgings, a Victorian museum complete with stunning judges' apartments, servants' quarters, courtroom, and cells, make it clear why it received this award. The town features music and art festivals all through the year in addition to a farmers' market every month. Discover the Offa's Dyke, the Mortimer Trail, Croft Ambrey, the peaceful valleys of the Lugg, Teme, and Clun, as well as the magnificent hikes up to Wigmore Castle. Visitors laud the small town of Kington, which is well known as a centre for walking, for its beautiful scenery and good walking and cycling in the nearby rolling hills.
