Leominster, Market town in Herefordshire, England

Located at the confluence of River Lugg and River Kenwater, Leominster stands as a central hub in northern Herefordshire, surrounded by agricultural lands.

The town's name combines the Celtic word 'Leon' with 'minster', reflecting its establishment as a religious community during the Anglo-Saxon period.

The Leominster Festival brings together local artists, craftspeople, and performers to showcase regional talents through exhibitions and demonstrations throughout the town.

Leominster railway station connects travelers to major cities via the Welsh Marches Line, with regular services to Cardiff, Hereford, and Manchester.

The Priory Church houses an original ducking stool from 1809, marking the site of England's last recorded public ducking punishment.
