Foy is a small village and civil parish in Herefordshire, set on the west bank of the River Wye within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to Ross-on-Wye. Its riverside position gives the parish dramatic limestone cliffs, wooded riverbanks and easy access to popular walking and canoeing routes.
The settlement is characteristically rural, with a scattering of period cottages, farms and a village church with medieval roots; the local economy leans on agriculture and low-key tourism, with visitors drawn to the scenery and nearby attractions such as Goodrich Castle. Community life is quiet and village-centred, marked by occasional local events and a strong sense of place rooted in the Wye Valley landscape.
