Hill Gate Herefordshire Map

About Hill Gate

Hill Gate, a quiet corner of Herefordshire, often seems to hold the soft, diffused light of a watercolour painting. It lies 10.7 km west-north-west of Ross-on-Wye (from Ross-on-Wye: bearing 287°T, OS grid SO 497 272), and is situated east-south-east of Orcop Hill village. The lanes that wind through Hill Gate are bordered by hedgerows that spill over with wild roses in the summer months, their scent a fleeting, sweet punctuation in the air. A sense of enduring, unhurried life pervades the small cluster of dwellings, where the distant bleating of sheep can sometimes be heard carried on the breeze. The subtle curve of the land here suggests ancient pathways, trod by generations long gone, their presence felt in the very soil beneath one's feet.
