Welcome to Kington Near the Welsh border, Kington is in the English county of Herefordshire despite being on the western side of Offa's Dyke. The town lies in the shadow of Hergest Ridge and is on the River Arrow. It is 21 miles north-west from Hereford with nearby towns including Presteigne, Knighton and Leominster. There are beautiful panoramic views all round the town of the open countryside and surrounding hills. The riverside recreation ground in Kington, which houses the town's cricket club and is the venue for many local outdoor events, is particularly attractive, whilst it is said that 18-hole course on Bradnor Hill is the highest in England, over 390 metres above sea level. For a picture review of the golf course click here. At Hergest Croft Gardens, on the edge of Kington, you can enjoy naturally landscaped gardens with two national collections of trees, and The Small Breeds Farm Park and Owl Centre at Kingswood is always worth a visit.
