A CLOSED Herefordshire pub looks set to reopen soon, with new landlords at the helm.

The Trumpet Inn, between Ledbury and Hereford, has been closed for some time, with a notice placed outside the building in January stating that it was closed until further notice due to staffing issues. 

The pub is a local landmark, with thousands of vehicles passing it daily as they navigate the crossroads that links both the Hereford to Ledbury and Leominster to Gloucester roads. 

A spokesperson for Wadworth, the pub company that operated the Trumpet Inn, told the Hereford Times at the time that it had put on the market and sold at the end of 2023.
