Upper Hergest Herefordshire Map

About Upper Hergest

Upper Hergest, a quiet hamlet, breathes the ancient air of Herefordshire's western reaches. It lies 3.8 km west-south-west of Kington (from Kington: bearing 243°T, OS grid SO 263 549). The land here, gently sloping towards the Welsh Marches, often catches the late afternoon sun in a soft, honeyed light, illuminating the stone walls of scattered farmsteads. The fields, a mosaic of greens and golds depending on the season, speak of generations of cultivation and a close communion with the earth. A palpable sense of peace pervades Upper Hergest, a quietude unbroken save for the distant bleating of sheep or the rustle of wind through the hedgerows. The very texture of the soil underfoot, a rich loam, feels imbued with the slow, steady passage of time.
