The ward's geography is largely defined by the flat river valley, with agricultural land and smaller watercourses marking its southern boundaries.

The Herefordshire Trail passes through the ward, connecting to the wider countryside. Leominster's railway station, providing links to Hereford, Shrewsbury, and the Welsh Marches line, is a key transport feature located here, facilitating both commuting and the movement of goods.
