Manager's notes:Burton Gardens is situated just a short walk from the centre of the picturesque village of Weobley in the north of Herefordshire. Weobley village is part of the famous Black & White Village Trail and many of the older houses in the village date back to the 14th and 15th century. While the village retains its old world charm it does have some modern facilities which include a small but well stocked supermarket, post office, newsagents and speciality shops. The village also has a library.
There is a regular bus service to Hereford currently operated by Sargents Brothers. All buses are low floor accessible. The nearest bus stop is approximately a ten minute walk from Burton Gardens. The local doctors' surgery is situated in the village and is approximately a 7 minute walk. There are Catholic, Church of England and Methodist churches close by but some services are held in the scheme community room. None of the major banks are represented in the village but a cash machine is available in the supermarket during regular opening hours.
