Geography
The village is on the B4362 road on the B4362 road between Shobdon and Presteigne near the confluence of the Hindwell Brook and the River Lugg.[3] During the Devensian period, "the eastward advance of the Wye Glacier blocked the preglacial Lugg at Combe Moor and the river cut a new course to the north-east before turning south-east through the east-to-west ridge via the Covenhope Gap."[4] Cross and Hodgson described the sediments of the Combe Moor basin in 1975 as "finely laminated and stoneless."[5]
Combe Moor lies to the south-east of Combe, just to the south-west of the village of Byton.[2] Brandhill Wood lies to the south and Park Hill to the north-east.[2] The moor to the north of the village is called Byton Moor and there is also a moor of the same name as the village just to the west of that. The Herefordshire Trail long distance footpath passes through the village.[3] Шаблон:Clear left
