Trumpet or 'The Trumpet' is a quiet village in Herefordshire. The village is named after its pub, a timber-framed house called the Trumpet Inn, at the crossroads around which the village grew up.
The inn is located at a major crossroads of the A438 and A417/A4172, whose roads led out to Hereford eleven miles to the west, Ledbury four miles to the east, Leominster seventeen miles north-west and Gloucester twenty miles to the south-east.
The half-timbered inn is said to be some 800 years old and so named from the obligation of coaches that passed by to blow their coach horns.
Local agriculture includes the growing of hops and cider apples.
