About

Queenswood ward lies in the northernmost part of Herefordshire, bordering Shropshire. The area is defined by its rural landscape of rolling farmland, scattered woodlands, and small, quiet villages like Hope under Dinmore and Risbury. The A49 road runs through the ward, connecting these settlements. Agriculture is a central feature of the local economy and character, with fields and farmsteads shaping the open views across the countryside.

The ward is named for the historic Queenswood Country Park, a significant area of ancient woodland and former common land. This park offers walking trails and serves as a local nature reserve. The terrain includes parts of the elevated Dinmore Hill, which provides broader vistas over the surrounding Marcle Vale. Community life is focused around the villages, with parish churches and village halls acting as central points for the sparse population.
