Preston on Wye

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Preston on Wye is a village and civil parish in Herefordshire, England. It is situated near the River Wye, about 9 miles west of Hereford. Nearby places are Monnington on Wye, Lulham and Moccas.

This idyllic country village has a very strong community that often holds many village events. These range from plays to medieval banquets. A newly refurbished village hall and a pub (The Yew Tree) are the main amenities, and there is a Church of England Church, St Lawrence's, a Baptist Chapel and a Methodist Chapel. There is a bi-weekly bus service into Hereford and daily buses to the local primary school in Madley and secondary school in Kingstone. The village hall hosts the local community access point "Cow Pats" twice weekly, providing a rural cybercafé.


The village has two seasonal campsites located close to the River Wye for canoeists.
