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

Wilton Bridge [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/619692] was a major crossing [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/459060] of the River Wye and was protected by Wilton Castle [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/167009] . Both suffered significant damage during the English Civil War. The bridge has been restored and strengthened and updated with a sundial [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/167012] .

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.
