Hampton Bishop is a small riverside village in Herefordshire, England, sitting on the floodplain of the River Wye a few miles east of Hereford. Its low-lying, meadowed setting gives pleasant riverside walks and good wildlife, but also means the village is prone to flooding at times and feels closely connected to the surrounding Wye Valley countryside.
The name reflects historic links with the bishops of the county and the settlement retains a compact, village feel centred on its historic parish church and community spaces. Local life is still shaped by agriculture and horticulture, while many residents commute into Hereford, creating a mix of long-standing rural character and more modern, commuter-influenced living.
