Wilton is a village in south Herefordshire just under a mile west of the market town of Ross-on-Wye.

Wilton Bridge was a major crossing of the River Wye and was protected by Wilton Castle. Both suffered significant damage during the English Civil War.

Now the village is known for the roundabout where the A49 trunk road joins the A40. Being a convenient staging point it has several hotels.
