About

Eign Hill is a residential ward located directly south of Hereford city centre, across the River Wye. The area is characterised by a mix of housing, from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to more modern developments, situated on the rising ground that gives the ward its name. Its proximity to the city centre provides convenient access to urban amenities while maintaining a distinct, quieter neighbourhood feel.

The ward's landscape is defined by its sloping streets and green spaces like Eign Hill Park, which offers open playing fields and views. A notable local feature is the historic Eign Mill, a former flour mill on the river's east bank, which speaks to the area's past industrial connections to the Wye. The surrounding streets are primarily residential, with local shops and services concentrated along the main routes into the city.
