Dinmore Hill rises steeply above the River Lugg in Herefordshire, England and is effectively the prominent eastern ridge of an area of high ground which reaches a height of 236m at Birley Hill some 4 to 5km to the west. 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. The north-south railway line runs within Dinmore Tunnel beneath the hill. At the northern foot of the hill is the hamlet of Hope under Dinmore. [1]
Queen's Wood Country Park sits within woodland atop the hill to the west of the road. An area of the flat hilltop to the east of the road was the subject of an archaeological dig by the Timeteam television programme. Their three day excavation revealed massive ditches which were interpreted as demarcating an Iron Age camp.[2]
