Bromyard & Bishop's Frome

About

Bromyard & Bishop’s Frome is a rural area in Herefordshire, known for its rolling countryside and small market towns. Bromyard, the larger of the two, has a historic market charter and retains a traditional feel with local shops and pubs. The area is surrounded by farmland and orchards, typical of Herefordshire’s agricultural landscape. Bishop’s Frome, a smaller village, lies to the south and is centred around a parish church and a few community facilities.

The landscape is characterised by gentle hills, hedgerows, and scattered woodlands, with the River Frome flowing through the area. Walking and cycling routes, such as the Herefordshire Trail, pass through the villages, offering views of the Malvern Hills in the distance. The area has a quiet, rural atmosphere, with farming and tourism playing key roles in the local economy. Events like Bromyard’s annual folk festival bring occasional bursts of activity to the otherwise peaceful setting.
