Staplow is a village in Herefordshire, approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) north of Ledbury.[1] It is primarily known for its only pub, The Oak Inn, which was built in the 17th century.[2] The main road that runs through the village is the B4214 (Bromyard Road), connecting it to Ledbury as well as Bromyard, in the north of Herefordshire.[3] The village contains multiple Grade II listed buildings, including Woodhouse Farmhouse and Prior's Court.[4] The River Leadon runs to the east of the village. Additionally, the Hereford and Gloucester Canal ran through the village until its eventual disuse in the 1900s.[5]
