Archenfield is a historic region located in Herefordshire, England. Nestled along the border with Wales, it is known for its picturesque landscapes and rich cultural heritage. The region encompasses a number of charming villages and hamlets, including Ewyas Harold, Kentchurch, and Kilpeck.
With its roots dating back to the Anglo-Saxon period, Archenfield boasts a fascinating history. It was once a significant frontier region, serving as a defense against the Welsh invaders. Today, remnants of this past can be seen in the form of ancient fortifications and castles that dot the landscape.

This small village is also home to the famous Kilpeck Castle, a well-preserved medieval fortress that stands as a testament to Archenfield's strategic significance.
