Mansell Gamage is a hamlet in Herefordshire,[1] on the slope of a little, sudden, wooded hill known as Garnon's Hill on the north side of the River Wye. A section of Offa's Dyke runs up the hill, leaving Mansell Gamage on the west side of the dyke.

The course of a Roman road runs just south of the hamlet, following the Wye valley up from Magnae Dobunnorum (Kenchester) and the Three Rivers Ride route lops f-round the hill and through the hamlet.

Mansell Gamage is on the B4230 road and is near the A438 Hereford to Brecon road.
