Tupsley is an east‑of‑centre suburb and electoral ward of Hereford in Herefordshire, England. It sits close to the city, mixing residential streets with small areas of green space and allotments and is within easy reach of the River Wye. Historically it began as a separate village absorbed as Hereford expanded, and its name likely reflects Old English roots referring to a clearing or pasture.
Today Tupsley is mainly residential, with a mix of interwar, post‑war and social housing, local shops, a primary school and community facilities; many residents commute into Hereford for work and services. The ward has an active local community and is represented on Herefordshire Council, so local events, schools and grassroots groups play a noticeable role in social life.
