Brampton Bryan is a small village and civil parish situated in north Herefordshire, England close to the Shropshire and Welsh borders.

The ruins of Brampton Bryan Castle are on a floodplain south of the River Teme, 50 metres (160 ft) north of the church.

From this site the castle guarded an important route from Ludlow along the Teme Valley to Knighton and on into Central Wales.

It was thought that the roof may well have been constructed from the ruins of the castle, but recent research as part of the Heritage Lottery bid has tended to rule that possibility out.

It contains an early 14th-century monument to Lady Margaret de Brampton, who is shown holding her heart in her hands.

Parson's Pole Bridge is situated in the civil parish and takes the lane from Brampton Bryan to the hamlets of Buckton and Coxall across the River Teme.

[5][6] During the First English Civil War, Brampton Bryan Castle was held for Parliament by Lady Brilliana Harley during the first of two sieges.

[10] Today the village in addition to its church possesses a tearoom and a large bookshop, "Aardvark Books", which sells over 50,000 titles, and a remarkable and ancient yew hedge.
