Welcome to Holdfast

Holdfast is a small village located in the county of Worcestershire, England. The village is situated on the eastern side of the Malvern Hills and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Holdfast is a peaceful and quiet place, with a population of just over 100 people. The village has a rich history, dating back to the 12th century when it was first mentioned in historical records.

One of the most notable features of Holdfast is its beautiful church, St. Mary's. The church dates back to the 13th century and is a Grade II listed building. It is a beautiful example of medieval architecture and is well worth a visit. The church is still in use today and holds regular services, as well as hosting events and concerts throughout the year.

Holdfast is also home to a number of small businesses, including a farm shop and a pub. The pub, The Admiral Rodney, is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. It serves a range of traditional pub food and has a great selection of local beers and ciders. The farm shop, Holdfast Organics, sells a range of organic produce, including fruit and vegetables, meat, and dairy products. It is a great place to stock up on fresh, locally sourced food.

Severn Way
A Beautiful Walk Along The River Severn With Farm Land All Around. The Parking Is On The Narrow Lane In The Form Of Makeshift Lay-Bys, However There Is Rarely More Than 1 Or 2 Cars There. I Suggest Keeping Your Dog On A Lead Until You Get Through The Gate. Go Up The Track And Bear Left And Keep Walking! I've Walked About 4 Miles Before Turning Round And Heading Back, I'm Not Sure How Far It's Possible To Go, Many More Miles I Assume. There's Plenty Of Access To The River For Hot And Thirsty Dogs. It's Incredibly Quiet, I've Rarely Encountered More Than 1 Or 2 Other Walkers, With Lots Of Wildlife Such As Pheasants, Rabbits And Even A Hate Or 2.
