Golden Valley (Herefordshire)
The Golden Valley is the name given to the valley of the River Dore in western Herefordshire, England. The valley is a picturesque area of gently rolling countryside. It lies in the lee of the Black Mountains, Wales.
The main villages are Dorstone, Peterchurch, Abbey Dore and Ewyas Harold.
==Origin of the name==
The name ''Golden Valley'' probably derives from a confusion of the name of the River Dore with the French ''d'or'', meaning 'of gold'. The Normans might have confused the Welsh word ''dŵr'', meaning 'water', with 'd'or'. A similar situation occurred with the Duero/Douro river in Iberia (Spain and Portugal) where the Romance languages adopted the original Celtic name and changed the meaning to the similar-sounding precious metal.
