Welcome to Weobley
Famed for its attractive timber-framed buildings and considered to be one of the 20 most idyllic villages in Britain, Weobley sits at the very heart of Herefordshire's lowlands, an area characterised by wide river valleys, arable farming, low hedges, steep wooded hills and beautiful orchards. Just eight miles from Leominster and twelve miles from Hereford, experience the quieter pace of life of a quintessential English village and explore the black & white timbered houses from medieval times.
Herefordshire's High Sheriff to visit Weobley
The High Sheriff of Herefordshire Joanna Hilditch, will be visiting Weobley on the 17th June to see first hand the new SK8 Skatepark. Appointed by the Crown, the High Sheriff is no longer responsible for collecting taxes as they did during the time of Prince John and Robin Hood, but today offers support and recognition to the legion of people across Herefordshire who dedicate themselves to helping others.
Are you a future Olympic Skateboarder?
Weobley's skate park is already attracting skaters from all over and who are enjoying the chance to experience the free design of the “street plaza”. So whether you're a newbie or an experienced skater, get down to SK8 to see if you've got what it takes to be an Olympic Star of tomorrow.
Do you want to see the Evening, Late Saturday and Sunday Bus route re-instated?
If you're interested in seeing the Hereford to Kingston evening and weekend bus service restored, there is a campaign being organised by Kington to bring back the 461 bus route which passes through Weobley. To find out more or register your support, e-mail Leslumsdon@hotmail.com
Could you be our next Parish Councillor?
Following the retirement of one of our longest serving councillors, we would be delighted to hear from you if you're interested in becoming a council member. As a parish councillor, you will be someone your community will look to for help, guidance and support - a community leader - with the power to influence decisions for the benefit of the people you serve. The role in voluntary, so I'm afraid you won't be paid for your time!
To find out more, please e-mail clerk@weobleyparishcouncil.org.uk for more information and how to apply.

Sponsor the Daffodils
Each year the roadsides into the village are awash with the colour of daffodils, but this year they were starting to show their age with the gaps between groups getting larger.
We are hoping to replant these gaps this autumn, so if you have any spare bulbs or would like to sponsor the purchase of more bulbs, we would love to hear from you.
Get in touch by e-mail at clerk@weobleyparishcouncil.org.uk
