Eastnor is a village in Herefordshire, two miles east of Ledbury and the same distance from the meeting of three counties: Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire.
Eastnor Castle built by Earl Somers (d.1841) is within its mediæval-founded parish which it is named after. The settlement is also the main settlement of its civil parish.
The 12th-century church of St John the Baptist was redesigned and rebuilt by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1852[1] and is a grade I listed building.[2]
Eastnor Lake occupies a similar area to the village centre and is at the point where two streams from the north join to form the Glynch Brook, one of two similar axis left-bank tributaries of the River Leadon.
