Dinmore Hill

It lies roughly midway between the town of Leominster to the north and the city of Hereford to the south, the A49 road which links them climbing the hill in a series of sweeping bends.

In civil engineering preparation for the building of the present Hereford railway station, and as the only company planning to enter the town from the north, in 1849 the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway company built a brick works north of Dinmore Hill, which was fed by clay from the earthworks of the tunnel being dug underneath it.

An area of the flat hilltop to the east of the road was the subject of an archaeological dig by the Time Team television programme in 2009.

Its three-day excavation revealed massive ditches which were interpreted as demarcating an Iron Age camp.
