Backbury

About

Backbury ward is located in the eastern part of Herefordshire, covering a mix of rural and semi-rural areas. The ward includes several small villages and hamlets, with farmland and woodland making up much of the landscape. The River Wye flows nearby, providing a natural boundary and influencing the local geography. Agriculture plays a significant role in the area, with fields and orchards common sights.

The ward has a quiet, community-focused atmosphere, with local amenities centred around village halls and churches. Transport links are limited, relying mostly on country lanes, though the A40 runs close by for connections to Hereford and beyond. Historical features, such as traditional stone cottages and old farmsteads, add character to the area. Backbury offers a peaceful setting with easy access to the wider countryside.
