Welcome to Orcop

Orcop is a small village located in the county of Herefordshire, England. It is situated on the eastern side of the River Monnow, which forms the border between England and Wales. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with rolling hills and fields of crops. The area is popular with walkers and cyclists, who come to explore the many footpaths and bridleways that criss-cross the landscape.

The village itself is home to a small but vibrant community. There is a village hall, a pub, and a church, as well as a number of small businesses. The pub, The Boot Inn, is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, serving up traditional pub food and a range of local ales. The church, St. John the Baptist, dates back to the 12th century and is a beautiful example of Norman architecture.

Despite its small size, Orcop has a rich history. The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, and there are records of a castle being built here in the 12th century. The castle was destroyed during the English Civil War, and today only a few ruins remain. Orcop also played a role in the development of the Herefordshire cider industry, with many orchards in the area producing apples for cider-making. Today, the village is a peaceful and picturesque place to visit, with plenty of opportunities to explore the surrounding countryside and learn about its fascinating history.
