Risbury is a small village in Herefordshire located six miles south east of Leominster.
There used to be a Methodist chapel, a Post Office and a pub (The Hop Pole) in the village, but all three are now residential dwellings. At Risbury cross there is a bus shelter, however the accompanying red phone box was decommissioned in 2018 and moved to the village hall opposite to house a defibrillator.
Around the village
An Iron Age hill fort, Risbury Camp, is located just outside the village on private farmland, although a public footpath runs nearby.
There is a green burial ground, Humber Woodland of Remembrance, nearby.[1]
