Bridstow is a small village and civil parish in south‑eastern Herefordshire, England, sitting just above the eastern bank of the River Wye and a short drive from Ross-on-Wye. The lane‑lined parish is part of the attractive Wye Valley landscape, with a mix of arable and livestock farmland, pockets of ancient woodland and sweeping river views that make it popular with walkers and kayakers.
Locally the community has a quiet, rural character with a mix of long‑standing farming families and commuters who work in nearby towns. Historic buildings and a modest village centre reflect its agricultural past, while tourism linked to the river and valley scenery provides an important supplement to the local economy. Despite its tranquillity, Bridstow benefits from easy access to services in neighbouring Ross-on-Wye and the wider border country of the Forest of Dean and the Welsh Marches.
