About

Penyard ward sits in the eastern part of the County of Herefordshire, encompassing a primarily rural landscape of farmland and wooded hills. The area includes the village of Linton and several smaller hamlets, with the ground rising towards the ancient wooded ridge of Penyard Hill itself. This is a quiet, agricultural part of the county, characterised by scattered farms, narrow lanes, and hedgerows.

The historic Penyard Park estate forms a notable landmark within the ward, with its remaining 18th-century walled garden and stable block. The geology of Penyard Hill, part of the Woolhope Dome, has long been of interest, with its limestone outcrops and fossils. The area's settlements are small and closely linked to the surrounding land, with much of the community life centred on the local parish church and village hall.
