Moccas is a small, rural village and civil parish in Herefordshire, lying beside the bend of the River Wye in a quietly scenic stretch of the Wye Valley. The landscape is characterised by rolling farmland, ancient woodland and parkland, and it is popular for riverside walks and wildlife watching, with an overall sense of tranquillity rather than bustling tourism.
The locality is best known for the historic estate of Moccas Court and its surrounding park, which lend the area a distinctly historic and landscaped character; an old parish church and scattered farmsteads reflect a long agricultural past. Farming remains important to the local economy, while the mix of heritage, natural habitats and low population gives the community a chiefly rural, conservation-minded social life.
