Newton is a small village located in the county of Herefordshire, in the West Midlands region of England. Situated approximately 13 miles northeast of the city of Hereford, the village is nestled in the picturesque countryside, surrounded by rolling hills and green pastures.

The focal point of the village is the St. Mary's Church, a beautiful medieval building that dates back to the 12th century. The church's stunning architecture and tranquil atmosphere make it a popular destination for visitors and locals alike.

Newton has a small population of around 300 residents, giving it a close-knit community feel. The village is known for its rich agricultural heritage, with many of its residents involved in farming and other rural industries. The surrounding area is predominantly used for agriculture, with fields of crops and grazing livestock dotting the landscape.

There are limited amenities in Newton itself, with a small convenience store providing essential supplies for residents. However, the village benefits from being in close proximity to larger towns and cities, such as Hereford and Leominster, which offer a wider range of services and facilities.

The village is also a haven for nature enthusiasts, with numerous walking trails and footpaths crisscrossing the area, allowing visitors to explore the stunning countryside. The nearby River Wye, one of England's most scenic waterways, offers opportunities for fishing, boating, and wildlife spotting.

In summary, Newton is a charming village in Herefordshire, offering a peaceful rural lifestyle and breathtaking natural beauty.
