About

The Shobdon, Luston and Bodenham area lies in the north of Herefordshire, characterised by a gently undulating landscape of farmland, orchards, and woodland. The River Lugg meanders through the parish, shaping the fertile valley floor. The settlements themselves are small, centred around historic churches and traditional Herefordshire black-and-white timbered or red-brick farmhouses. Agriculture remains a dominant presence, with fields and hedgerows defining the rural views.

A notable landmark is Shobdon Arches, a striking 18th-century Gothic folly set within wooded hills, originally part of a lost estate. The area is also known for Shobdon Airfield, a former WWII base now used for general aviation and gliding. Local community life focuses on the village halls, pubs, and primary schools, with walking routes like the Mortimer Trail connecting the quiet lanes and footpaths across the countryside.
