Welcome to Moorcot

Moorcot 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 Wales. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with rolling hills and fields of crops. The village is home to a small community of residents, who enjoy the peace and tranquillity of rural life.

The village of Moorcot has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. The village was once a thriving agricultural community, with many farms and smallholdings in the area. Today, the village is still home to a number of working farms, although many of the residents now commute to nearby towns and cities for work. Despite this, the village has managed to retain its rural charm and character, with many of the old buildings and landmarks still standing.

One of the most notable features of Moorcot is the village church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is dedicated to St. Mary and is a Grade II listed building. The church is a popular destination for visitors to the village, who come to admire its beautiful architecture and learn about its history. The church is also an important part of the community, with regular services and events held throughout the year.
