Wilton is a village in south Herefordshire just under a mile west of the market town of Ross-on-Wye.
Wilton Bridge [1] was a major crossing [2] of the River Wye and was protected by Wilton Castle [3]. Both suffered significant damage during the English Civil War. The bridge has been restored and strengthened and updated with a sundial [4].
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.
