Residents of the village of Ewyas Harold, near the England-Wales border, took part in a cleaning operation on Saturday following flooding triggered by Storm Claudia.
The village was placed under a red flood alert on Friday while farmers worked overnight to save animals.
One farmer told Sky News he had brought most of his cows indoors but a few sheep were still out in the flood water.
Nearby aerial images of the adjacent Welsh village of Monmouth also revealed the full extent of the flooding.
