Monkland is a small village in Herefordshire in the meadows on the south bank of the River Arrow, close about two and a half miles west of Leominster, and just off the A44 road. To the south-west is another hamlet, Stretford (with which Monkland shares a civil parish) and to the south-east is Ivington.

The village is the start of the Black and White Village Trail. Its most notable building is the parish church, St Cosmas and St Damian's Church, which is a Grade I listed building.[1]
