Pict's Cross Herefordshire Map

About Pict's Cross

Pict's Cross rests in a gentle fold of the Herefordshire countryside, where the land begins its slow rise towards the Welsh Marches. It lies 4.7 km west-north-west of Ross-on-Wye (from Ross-on-Wye: bearing 304°T, OS grid SO 560 267), and is situated north of Peterstow village. The quiet lanes here, often bordered by hedgerows thick with hawthorn blossom in spring, lead through fields that have been worked for generations, their rich soil catching the afternoon sun in streaks of ochre and gold. The air, when the wind stirs from the west, carries the faint, clean scent of distant apple orchards, a subtle perfume that speaks of the region's enduring agricultural heart. There is a stillness to Pict's Cross, a sense of being comfortably apart from the world's more insistent clamour, where the passing of the day is marked by the lengthening shadows and the calls of unseen birds. The modest buildings, many of them stone-built with slate roofs, seem to have grown organically from the earth, their forms softened by the years and the persistent, gentle rain of the West Midlands.
