The Herefordshire Trail is a long distance footpath forming a circular walk in the English county of Herefordshire.

The Herefordshire Trail runs for 154 miles (248 km) and forms a circular tour of the county of Herefordshire.

It has been designed to link the five market towns in Herefordshire: Leominster, Bromyard, Ledbury, Ross-on-Wye and Kington, but also taking in many of the smallest villages which are the hidden gems of the area, such as Kilpeck or Leintwardine.

The route encompasses historic churches and inns. The terrain varies from panoramic views at Harley's Mountain (376m, the highest point), Garway Hill Common (366m), and Merbach Hill (318m), and the hidden Golden Valley below the looming bulk of the Black Mountains, Wales, to the river valleys and Black and white villages trail passing through cider orchards and many of the lesser-known hidden places in the secret corners of this quiet county. Interest is provided by the ruined Wilton Castle at Ross-on-Wye, the wooden toll bridge at Whitney-on-Wye, the 1895 Louis Harper pedestrian suspension bridge at Sellack Boat, Arthur's Stone tomb near Dorstone, the sculpted hedges at Brampton Bryan, and the short Kingfisher Line railway near Titley.
