Staunton on Wye is a small rural parish in Herefordshire, set close to the course of the River Wye and near the Welsh border between Hay-on-Wye and Hereford. The surrounding landscape of rolling pasture, orchards and hedgerows reflects the county’s agricultural character, with mixed farming, cider production and a modest amount of tourism - walkers and anglers are drawn to the quiet riverside scenery.
There is a compact historic core of a parish church and stone cottages that points to medieval and later rural development, and village life remains community‑led with a village hall, pub and local groups. Proximity to Hay-on-Wye gives a cultural twist for visitors and residents alike, while the parish’s tranquillity and strong local traditions keep it distinctly Herefordshire in character.
