About

The area encompassing Fownhope, Tarrington, and Marcle lies within the undulating landscape of south Herefordshire, defined by the River Wye's wide meander. Settlements are small and scattered amidst a patchwork of orchards, hop yards, and pastoral farmland. The terrain rises gently eastwards from the river's floodplain towards the wooded slopes that characterise this part of the county. Roads follow the contours of the land, connecting these rural communities.

A notable ridge runs through the landscape near Marcle, the site of a significant 16th-century landslip. The local geology supports traditional cider apple production, with many farms maintaining orchards. Timber-framed buildings and sandstone churches are common architectural features. The area remains predominantly agricultural, with a quiet character distinct from the more visited sections of the Wye Valley further west.
