About

Golden Valley South ward encompasses a rural portion of western Herefordshire, characterised by rolling farmland and small settlements along the River Dore. The area includes the villages of Dorstone, Peterchurch, and Vowchurch, which serve as local hubs. The landscape is dominated by agricultural fields, hedgerows, and wooded slopes, with the Black Mountains forming a distinct backdrop to the west. This is primarily a working agricultural environment.

The ward's history is deeply connected to the surrounding land, with several Norman-era churches and the site of Arthur's Stone, a Neolithic burial chamber, located near Dorstone. Economic activity revolves around farming, particularly livestock, with tourism drawn to the quiet lanes and walking paths like those of the Dore Valley. The area maintains a quiet, dispersed community feel, distinct from the more populated wards to the east.
