Kilpeck Church and Churchyard

Highlight • Religious Site

very nice church, interesting place

Tip by

17.5 km

There isn't much left of Kilpeck Castel, but there is enough to give you a sense of its situation and what it must have been like. It does offer fine views to the north, south and west, and would have dominated the village. Incidentally the photos of the carvings come from the nearby church, not the castle.

Kilpeck Church and Castle Ruins

Highlight • Religious Site

Nestled in classic border country, Kilpeck is a pleasant Herefordshire village. Part of the Welsh Kingdom of Ergyng until the 9th century, it became part of Archenfield after the Norman conquest. In the 16th century it became part of England, though Welsh was still commonly spoken here until the 19th century.

It is notable for two landmarks in particular: the remains of a motte-and-bailey caste and its small but remarkable Romanesque church of St Mary and St David's.

Kentchurch Court and St. Mary's Church

Highlight • Historical Site

Below the gentle slopes of the surrounding hills, Kentchurch is a lovely village by the River Monnow in Herefordshire. According to some, it was the home of the legendary Jack o' Kent, a popular bogeyman figure in Herefordshire and Monmouthshire folklore. The Bridge Inn does excellent food.

The historic Kentchurch Court is a Grade I-listed building that dates back to the 14th century. It has seen many revamps, not least in the late 18th century when it was given a gothic remodelling by John Nash.

Ewyas Harold Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Nestled in the Golden Valley, Ewyas Harold is a beautiful village with a rich history. The remains of an ancient motte-and-bailey castle remain in the west of the village, though only the motte remains to hint at its former glory.

To the north is Ewyas Harold Common, boasting roaming ponies and splendid views towards Wales' Black Mountains. Hillwalking in the surrounding countryside includes routes to Garway Hill and Mynydd Ferddin.
