Wilton, Herefordshire
Wilton is a village in south Herefordshire, England just under a mile west of the market town of Ross-on-Wye.
In 1100, Henry 1 set up 3 royal manors in Herefordshire, including the manor of Wilton. This included a number of surrounding villages such as Peterstow.
Wilton Bridge was a major crossing of the River Wye and was protected by Wilton Castle . Both suffered significant damage during the English Civil War. The bridge has been restored and strengthened and updated with a sundial .
Now the village is known for the roundabout where the A49 trunk road joins the A40. Being a convenient staging point it has several hotels.
