Orcop Hill is a village in Herefordshire ten miles south of Hereford.
It is substantially larger than its parent village, Orcop, which stands a mile to the south. To the west is Bagwyllydiart and to the east Llanwarne.
The village has a pub and a chapel, but the parish church is at Orcop.
About the village
The village pub is the Fountain Inn, a typical country pub, compact in size with an open fire. It was the centre of a planning controversy between 2012 and 2016 when the owners closed the pub to seek planning permission for a residential conversion, which did not succeed. The pub reopened under new owners in December 2016.[1]
