[2] The closest National Rail station is at Hereford on the Welsh Marches Line, 6 miles (10 km) to the north.

It includes the hamlet of Harewood End at the extreme south and on the A49 road, which forms the border with Pencoyd and runs locally from Hereford at the north to Ross-on-Wye at the southeast.

A stream rising at the north-west of the parish flows east to the Wriggle Brook, a tributary of the River Wye in Hentland.

[4][3][5][6] Harewood is north-west of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

[8] The principal landmark of the parish is the rural estate of Harewood Park, owned by the Duchy of Cornwall.
