Kingstone & Kingsthorne

Kingstone and Kingsthorne form a rural parish situated a few miles southwest of Hereford. The area is characterised by rolling farmland, orchards, and scattered woodland, with the River Dore flowing nearby. Settlement is focused on the village of Kingstone, with its historic church and pub, and the smaller hamlet of Kingsthorne. The landscape is primarily agricultural, with a mix of arable fields and pasture supporting the local farming economy.

The area is part of the wider Golden Valley, with quiet lanes connecting farms and dwellings. A notable local feature is the proximity to the Daffodil Way, a walking route that showcases the naturalised spring bulbs in the surrounding fields and hedgerows. Community life centres on the village hall and the primary school, with the rural setting offering a quiet, residential character distinct from the busier city to the northeast.
