About

Old Gore is a rural ward located in the northeastern part of Herefordshire. The area is characterised by gently rolling farmland, interspersed with small patches of woodland and hedgerows. It contains the villages of Stoke Lacy and Bishop's Frome, which serve as focal points for the local community. The landscape is primarily agricultural, with fields used for pasture and crop cultivation defining the scenery.

The ward is traversed by the River Frome, a tributary of the River Lugg, which shapes the local topography. The area includes the notable Marcle Ridge, a distinct geological feature that rises from the surrounding plains. This ridge is part of a larger line of hills and influences the settlement patterns and land use in the ward. The local economy remains closely tied to the land and traditional farming practices.
