The River Wye at the confluence of the River Lugg at Mordiford as it flows toward Ross


Mordiford is a village in Herefordshire, England south east of the city of Hereford. This village grew up around an ancient ford over the River Lugg and is now crossed by the oldest surviving bridge in Herefordshire, dating in part to c. 1352 and completed in the 16th century. Mordiford is also known for the legend of the Dragon of Mordiford, which, it is said, would amble down from its lair in Haugh Wood to drink from the confluence of the rivers Wye and Lugg near the village. Nearby is Sufton Court, a small Palladian mansion set in parkland. A heart shaped corn dolly is named after the village of Mordiford.
