Visit some of Herefordshire's Ice Age Ponds

Visit Herefordshire joined as a Corporate Member in July 2023. Visit Herefordshire is brought to you by Herefordshire County BID, a destination management organisation which is funded by local levy payers. They are the official tourism site for Herefordshire, as recognised by Visit England and Visit Britain. We work in partnership to promote the Trusts calendar of Events, Nature Reserves and Charity Shops.

Herefordshire Wildlife Trust is working with partners across the county and beyond to recover our landscapes for wildlife.
From supporting farmers to help nature, advising local community groups on their green spaces or restoring habitat features like ponds and orchards, we're doing all we can to restore nature.

Conserving Herefordshire’s Ice Age Ponds is a project aiming to research and conserve a network of ponds in North West Herefordshire. These provide a unique and rare habitat for wildlife. The project has received core funding of £252,600 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund but needs to raise a further £19,000 in ‘match funding’ to ensure the project can be completed.

The Ice Age Herefordshire exhibition runs until 30th November 2020 at Hereford Museum and Art Gallery
