Mordiford is a small, rural parish in Herefordshire, England, set where the low-lying meadows meet the curves of the River Wye and not far from its confluence with the River Lugg. Sitting between Ledbury and Ross-on-Wye, the landscape is typical Wye-valley countryside - floodplain pastures, hedgerows and riparian woodland - and it lies within the area of countryside that draws walkers, anglers and wildlife enthusiasts to the Wye Valley.
The parish has ancient roots with a medieval church and several historic buildings amid a largely agricultural economy, though many residents commute to nearby towns. Mordiford’s most curious claim to fame is its local folklore - the famous Mordiford dragon - which, along with community events and conservation efforts for river habitats, gives the village a distinctive cultural identity beyond its quiet, rural character.
