Location and Area


 

Dilwyn is located about 12 miles from the city of Hereford and some 6 miles from its nearest town, Leominster.

 

Dilwyn is situated on the northern edge of a broad valley that stretches from the river Wye through to Leominster. Running through the valley, south of the village, is the Stretford Brook whilst to the north are the rivers Arrow and Lugg.

Dilwyn civil parish includes the hamlets of Sollers Dilwyn, Little Dilwyn, The Haven, Hill Top, The Hurst, Headland, Bearton, Bidney, Henwood, Stockmoor and Stockingfield amongst others. There are over 200 dwellings spread throughout the 6400 acres of the parish. The population in 2001 was 758.

Weobley, Eardisland and Pembridge are the three closest villages to Dilwyn. The above four villages form part of The Black and White Trail which explores the attractive half-timbered, black and white villages to be found in this area of northern Herefordshire. The landscape of the parish and surrounding area is mainly rolling arable and pastoral farmland with many scattered orchards.

To the east of Dilwyn village, the main road running north/south (A4110) follows the line of Watling Street West, an important Roman road and one that also marks the eastern boundary of the parish.
