Welcome to Adforton

Adforton is a small village located in the county of Herefordshire, England. The village is situated in the north-western part of the county, close to the border with Shropshire. Adforton is a rural community with a population of around 100 people. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with rolling hills and fields of crops. The area is popular with walkers and cyclists, who come to explore the many footpaths and bridleways that criss-cross the landscape.

Adforton has a long history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it is recorded as having a church and a mill.

The village also has a pub, The Sun Inn, which dates back to the 17th century and is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike.

These include coffee mornings, craft fairs, and quiz nights. The village also has a cricket team, which plays on the local field during the summer months.
