Linton is a small village in Herefordshire, England, around 5 kilometres (3 mi) east of Ross-on-Wye.

It has a church called St. Mary's, which dates from the 13th century. The spire can be seen when travelling eastwards on the M50 motorway when 2 miles east of junction 4. There is also a village hall, and a post office which opens a few hours each week.

Several activities take place in the village hall: Brownies, pilates etc.

Each year, the only pub in the village hosts a charitable event;[1]

The festival is organised by a committee responsible for the creation of funds for an increasing number of local charities and good causes. The Landlords of The Alma Inn[1] run the beer tents, providing a range of local and more exotic ales each year. The Alma provides a natural amphitheatre that is the garden to the rear of the pub which is an intimate environment for the notable Blues acts the committee books each year.
