About

Kerne Bridge ward lies along the western bank of the River Wye, encompassing the village of Goodrich and its surrounding rural landscape. The area is defined by agricultural land, wooded hillsides, and quiet country lanes. The ward takes its name from the single-span iron bridge at Kerne, a key local crossing point over the river. Goodrich Castle, a substantial medieval ruin, stands prominently on a rocky outcrop above the Wye Valley, overlooking this scenic stretch of the river.

The local economy has traditional roots in farming and forestry, with tourism centred on the historic castle and riverside activities. The area is part of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, characterised by its steep, wooded slopes and pastoral meadows. Community life focuses on the village of Goodrich, which contains a church, primary school, and pub, serving the dispersed rural population within the ward's boundaries.
