Golden Valley is a wild, untamed place, with Hay-on-Wye to the north and Pontrilas to the south.

The valley stretches between the parishes of Dorstone, Peterchurch, Abbey Dore and Ewyas Harold in the southwest of the county of Herefordshire. The area includes the electoral Wards of Golden Valley South and Golden Valley North.
