Welcome to Horseway Head

Horseway Head is a small hamlet located in the county of Herefordshire, England. It is situated in the north-western part of the county, close to the border with Wales. The hamlet is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with rolling hills and lush green fields. It is a peaceful and tranquil place, perfect for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

The history of Horseway Head can be traced back to the medieval period. The hamlet was once part of the manor of Eardisley, which was owned by the powerful Mortimer family. In the 16th century, the manor was sold to the Scudamore family, who owned it until the 20th century. Today, Horseway Head is a small community of around 20 houses, many of which are traditional stone cottages. The hamlet has a small church, St. Mary's, which dates back to the 12th century.

Despite its small size, Horseway Head has plenty to offer visitors. The surrounding countryside is perfect for walking, cycling, and horse riding. There are several footpaths and bridleways that lead through the fields and woods, offering stunning views of the Herefordshire countryside. The nearby town of Kington is also worth a visit, with its historic buildings, independent shops, and weekly market. Overall, Horseway Head is a charming and picturesque hamlet that is well worth a visit for anyone looking to explore the beauty of rural Herefordshire.
