Belmont Abbey is a Benedictine monastery in Herefordshire set on an elevated position with views of Hereford to the east and the Black Mountains of Wales to the west. The building was designed by Edward Welby Pugin in the Gothic Revival style and combines religious function with architectural intention.

Francis Wegg-Prosser founded the monastery in 1859, and it was later elevated to abbey status through the papal bull Praeclara Gesta by Pope Benedict XV. This elevation in 1920 marked a new chapter in the community's development and its recognition within the church.

The church displays Gothic Revival elements with walls of local pink sandstone and interior Bath stone, reflecting the architectural craftsmanship of the period. This material choice gives the building a warm, grounded appearance that fits into the Herefordshire landscape.

The grounds welcome visitors for services and religious activities, organized around the community's daily prayer schedule. Those wishing to visit should inquire about visiting hours in advance and dress respectfully.

Three Commonwealth war graves are located on the grounds, creating a connection between this religious site and military history. These graves show how the abbey played a role during major historical events.
