Leinthall Starkes is a small rural parish in north‑west Herefordshire, England, lying close to the county boundary with Shropshire. The settlement is set among rolling farmland and hedged lanes, made up of scattered farms, cottages and a handful of residential clusters rather than a single built‑up village.
Agriculture remains the backbone of the local economy, with mixed arable and livestock holdings, while many residents travel to nearby market towns such as Leominster or Wigmore for shops and services. The parish retains a quiet, historic rural character - old farmsteads, narrow lanes and a strong sense of community are typical, with local events and parish gatherings forming the social focus.
