Tight curve on the B4220 The Bromyard-Ledbury road flicks from one side of the River Leadon to the other by means of a narrow bridge and two sharp curves. Taken from the junction on the western curve, polytunnels are visible in the distance - a subject of some local controversy.

Houses in Staplow Not much more than a hamlet with a pub and a letter box now.
When the canal came through and the wharf was built this would have been a hive of activity.
