From Ewyas Harold I didn't fancy the climb to Vowchurch following the B4347 through the Golden Valley. Instead I picked up the CTC YHA route coming from Kentchurch and followed Alan Pewsey's route. On the outskirts of Ewyas Harold you pass through a military camp, check it out on Google Earth and you might wonder why there appears to be a large aeroplane there but no runway. I thought it wise not to stop to take photos. Approaching Presteigne I'd already decided to by-pass the town and save about a mile. However, north of Kempton I took a wrong turning and rode an extra 2.5 miles to Edgton, over a steep hill, then back again when I realised my mistake. I've edited my GPX file to exclude my unnecessary detour. Overall an enjoyable day's cycling on quiet roads.
Though a small village, Wentnor has a couple of inns that have accommodation. We stayed at The Inn on the Green situated at the bottom of the village. They have a workshop where you can leave your bike overnight.
