Belmont Abbey, Herefordshire, Benedictine monastery in Herefordshire, England.
The abbey stands on an elevated position with views of Hereford city to the east and the Black Mountains of Wales to the west.
Francis Wegg-Prosser established the monastery in 1859, which became an abbey in 1920 through the papal bull Praeclara Gesta by Pope Benedict XV.
The Gothic Revival church, designed by Edward Welby Pugin, features local pink sandstone exterior walls and Bath stone interior architectural elements.
The monastic community maintains daily prayer schedules, offers religious services, and welcomes visitors to participate in masses and spiritual activities.
Three Commonwealth war graves are located within the abbey grounds, connecting the religious site to significant military historical events.
