King's Thorn, alternatively known as Kingsthorne, is a village in Herefordshire, just off the A49 road between Hereford and Ross-on-Wye, and where that road is joined by the A466 from Monmouth.
The village is six miles due south of Hereford.
About the village
As the land use within the village is almost entirely residential, most services are located outside the village. The primary school catering for approximately 200 pupils is between Kingsthorne and Much Birch.[1]
The village is part of the Wormelow Hundred benefice, with its church in Little Birch.[2] The Castle Inn is in the heart of the village.
