Bridstow is a small rural parish in south Herefordshire, set close to the banks of the River Wye and within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Its landscape is a mix of riverside meadows and wooded slopes, popular with walkers and paddlers, and it sits just a short drive from Ross-on-Wye, with wide views typical of the borderlands between counties.
Historically the name reflects the settlement’s association with a river crossing and the area contains a number of traditional farmsteads and older buildings that hint at its past.
