The small church in Kilpeck is a gem of romanesque architecture and carving.

The castle of Kilpeck, of which little remains, was part of an 8th century fortified Saxon enclave in Welsh lands, set up here in the time of Offa as an outpost in the defence of Hereford. The defensive ditches of this six acre site are still visible but it is probable that the village itself was abondoned after the Black Death, in the 14th century.
