oakleaforchardblossomWelcome, whether a resident or visitor, we hope you will find much of interest about the parish of Dilwyn on this website. Taking the time to explore the various menus and articles should reward you with some very useful information about the parish and its north Herefordshire location. We are constantly updating and adding to this website, so it is worth visiting regularly to keep up to date with the latest news and information.

oakleafMentioned in the Domesday book, present day Dilwyn is the result of more than a 1,000 years of settlement. Because of this, Dilwyn has many historic buildings and interesting features. The central village itself is designated as a conservation area. However, Dilwyn civil parish includes much more than the central village. Within the 6400 acres of the parish are the hamlets of Sollers Dilwyn, Little Dilwyn, The Haven, Hill Top, The Hurst, Headland, Bearton, Bidney, Henwood, Stockmoor and Stockingfield amongst others. There are over 200 dwellings with a population of 758 (2001 census).

oakleafDilwyn is located in the popular tourist area of North-West Herefordshire. The county is one of the most rural and least populated in England. The area has much to offer to visitors who seek beautiful countryside, a slower pace of life and relatively quite roads.

oakleafDilwyn is an ideal starting point for touring the local trail of black and white villages. Time spent by visitors looking at the church of St Mary, examining the pretty local buildings and cottages, strolling on the green and perhaps visiting the pub and its garden will give a taste of the desirable quality of life enjoyed by this community.
