If the pace of modern life feels a little… much, you’re not alone. Maybe what you’re craving is a quieter rhythm. A simpler life. Somewhere you can breathe, hear birdsong, and actually see the stars at night.
Welcome to Rockbridge Residential Park – a peaceful, over-50s community tucked into a wooded valley on the Herefordshire-Wales border.
The park sits right by the river, where herons fish and wildflowers bloom in spring. You might spend a quiet hour with a rod in hand, or wander the trails leading to the Offa’s Dyke Path, camera at the ready. There’s no rush here – just the steady rhythm of a slower, more natural life.
Rockbridge doesn’t have a clubhouse or a games room – and that’s the beauty of it. What it does have is silence and some of the darkest skies in the UK. In fact, Presteigne and Norton were named Wales’ first International Dark Sky Community in 2024 – and Presteigne made the list of the best places to live in Wales. We think that says a lot.
Rockbridge is just a five-minute drive from Presteigne – a lively border town with plenty of period charm. You’ll find a butcher, greengrocer, convenience stores, country pubs, restaurants, takeaways, and a good mix of independent shops. There’s also a medical centre, optician, and bus routes to nearby towns – everything you need, close at hand.
Rockbridge sits where Herefordshire, Shropshire and Powys meet – a quiet spot with easy access to Presteigne, Hay-on-Wye, Kington, Ludlow, Hereford and Shrewsbury. The West Wales coast and Birmingham are just over 90 minutes away, so you’re never far from a beach day or a visit from family. It feels tucked away – but never out of touch.
Between the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Brecon Beacons National Park, Rockbridge is ideal for walkers, nature lovers and history buffs alike. From castles and country pubs to scenic trails in every direction, it’s a landscape made for exploring – right on your doorstep.
With friendly neighbours and a relaxed atmosphere, it won’t take long to feel at home. All our residents are over 50, creating a like-minded community where it’s easy to settle in and stay connected. There’s even a residents’ association to help you find your feet.
Our brand-new park homes are built to full residential standards. They’re warm, energy-efficient, and easy to maintain. They’re tailor-made for people looking to downsize!
Inside, you’ll find bright, spacious living areas, stylish furnishings, and fully fitted kitchens. All furniture and fittings are included – and many of our best homes come with decking and lovely views across the valley.
Rockbridge sits just outside Presteigne, a charming market town in Powys, Wales. It’s only a short drive to Ludlow, Leominster, and Hereford.
