Hentland is a quiet, rural parish in Herefordshire set among rolling hills and lanes overlooking the River Wye, a few miles north‑east of Ross-on-Wye and east of Hereford. Its landscape is largely agricultural, with mixed farms, orchards and pockets of woodland, and it attracts walkers and visitors looking for the mellow charm of the Wye valley countryside.
The area has medieval roots – the name hints at an “old church” – and is best known for the striking 19th‑century Italianate church at Hoarwithy, a local landmark. Communities are dispersed across hamlets rather than a single village, giving Hentland a close‑knit, village‑network feel with a strong interest in landscape conservation and rural traditions.
