Little Birch is a small, quietly rural parish in Herefordshire, England, set amid rolling farmland and narrow country lanes between Hereford and Ross-on-Wye. The landscape is typical of the county - hedged fields, scattered stone and brick farmsteads and attractive lanes that make it popular with walkers and cyclists, with easy access to the wooded valleys and views associated with the Wye Valley area.
Its economy remains largely agricultural with a mix of family farms and residents who commute to nearby towns, and the built environment reflects a long history of farming: traditional cottages, old farm buildings and a parish church of historic interest. Community life is small-scale but active, centred on local events and the parish council, and there is a strong local interest in conserving the rural character and historic fabric of the area.
