The Royal Oak is located in the historic market town of Kington, Herefordshire, just 2 miles from the Welsh border. Despite sitting west of Offa’s Dyke, the town has been part of England for over a thousand years. Nestled beneath the scenic Hergest Ridge, Kington is a popular destination for walkers and tourists. The town itself has a population of around 3,500 and is well connected to nearby towns including Presteigne, Builth Wells, Knighton and Leominster. The Royal Oak sits just 200 yards from the town centre in a predominantly residential area, offering both local trade and passing custom. Good transport links make the pub accessible, with regular bus services connecting Kington to Hereford, Leominster and surrounding towns, while Leominster railway station provides mainline rail connections further afield.
