'''Risbury''' is a village in the [civil parish](/source/civil_parish) of [Humber](/source/Humber%2C_Herefordshire) in [Herefordshire](/source/Herefordshire), England, and {{convert|4|mi|km|0}} south-east of [Leominster](/source/Leominster).

There used to be a Methodist chapel, a post office and The Hop Pole public house in the village, but all three are now residential dwellings. At Risbury cross there is a bus shelter, however the accompanying red phone box was decommissioned in 2018 and moved to the village hall opposite to house a defibrillator.

Risbury Camp, an [Iron Age](/source/Iron_Age) [hill fort](/source/hill_fort), is just outside the village on private farmland, although a public footpath runs nearby. There is a [green burial ground](/source/Natural_burial), Humber Woodland of Remembrance, outside within the parish.<ref>{{cite news   | title = Field becomes green graveyard  | publisher = [BBC News](/source/BBC_News)  | date = 2006-03-19  | url = https://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/newsid_4820000/newsid_4823200/4823220.stm  | access-date = 2009-02-28}}</ref>
