About

Mortimer ward lies in the far north of Herefordshire, bordering Shropshire and Wales. The landscape is defined by the River Teme, which forms part of the boundary, and the wooded ridges of the Mortimer Forest. This is a sparsely populated, rural area composed of scattered villages, farms, and historic estates nestled within the rolling countryside.

The area is steeped in border history, with its name derived from the medieval Marcher lords, the Mortimers. Remnants of this past are found in sites like the motte and bailey at Brampton Bryan. The ward's character is fundamentally agricultural, with a quiet network of narrow lanes connecting its small settlements like Aymestrey and Leintwardine, the latter situated at the confluence of the Teme and Clun rivers.
