Combe Moor, also known as Coombes Moor, is a small linear village in Herefordshire, located to the southeast of the Welsh settlement of Presteigne,[1] near the border with Wales, 20.1 miles (32.3 km) northwest by road from Hereford.[2]
Geography
The village is located on the B4362 road on the B4362 road between Shobdon and Presteigne near the confluence of the Hindwell Brook and the River Lugg.[3] During the Devensian period, "the eastward advance of the Wye Glacier blocked the preglacial Lugg at Combe Moor and the river cut a new course to the north-east before turning south-east through the east-west ridge via the Covenhope Gap."[4] Cross and Hodgson described the sediments of the Combe Moor basin in 1975 as "finely laminated and stoneless."[5]
Combe Moor lies to the southeast of Combe, just to the southwest of Byton.[2] Brandhill Wood lies to the south and Park Hill to the northeast.[2] The moor to the north of the village is called Byton Moor and there is also a moor of the same name as the village just to the west of that. The Herefordshire Trail long distance footpath passes through the village.[3]
Landmarks
The Herefordshire Trail leads to Wapley Hillfort. There is an old schoolhouse located to the northeast along the road to Byton.[3] Mistletoe House in the village is a "rural tea room and gallery with a colourful garden".[6] Other cottages in the vicinity include Rue Cottage in the village itself and Wapley cottage along the lane to the southeast.[2]
