About

Golden Valley is a rural district in western Herefordshire, characterised by its pastoral landscape and the River Dore which runs through it. The area consists of small villages, farmland, and woodland, with a quiet, agricultural atmosphere. It is situated between the Black Mountains to the west and the main city of Hereford to the east, providing a setting defined by its river valley geography and farming heritage.

The name derives from a translation of 'Dore', and the valley's history is closely tied to agriculture and Norman settlement. The surrounding hills and the river itself shape the local environment and road network. This is a working landscape of fields and hedgerows, with a sense of remoteness despite its proximity to larger settlements.
