Leintwardine is a compact, largely rural parish in north Herefordshire, England, sitting on the banks of the River Teme close to the border with Shropshire and just a short drive south of Ludlow. Its origins go back to a Roman settlement known as Bravonium, and the village still bears archaeological and architectural traces of that long history alongside timber-framed and Georgian buildings set in a scenic river valley.
Today the community is sustained by mixed farming, local services and a modest tourism trade: walkers, history enthusiasts and visitors seeking village pubs and independent shops. There’s a strong sense of local life - community halls, events and voluntary groups keep the social fabric active - while the archaeological interest and well-preserved streetscape give the place a particular appeal for anyone interested in rural history and landscape.
