Holmer Trading Estate
A major new development proposal in Hereford is to see one of the most difficult sections of the Herefordshire & Gloucestershire Canal restored as an integral part of the development scheme.

 

This will see ¼ mile of the Canal restored right up to Aylestone Park and include the transfer to the Canal Trust of the restored Canal and, in addition, the ¼ mile tunnel under Aylestone Hill.
