Garway is in a beautiful setting on a south-facing slope of the Monnow valley in Herefordshire. The banks of the river Monnow, which separate England from Wales, were settled by early man and the Romans built a fort at the narrowest part of the Valley between Garway Hill and the Graig Hill. The parish is a scattered community with no main centre but with several small hamlets. At the Turning is St Michael's church, the Baptist chapel and where a hundred years or so ago were shops, post office and a forge. The Garway Moon Inn, in another part of the parish, looks out over 23 acres of common land, part of which, by the efforts of the villagers, has been made into a fine cricket and sports field.
