About

Holmer ward lies directly north of Hereford city centre, forming a primarily residential suburb. The area is characterised by a mix of housing, from post-war estates to more recent developments, alongside local shopping parades catering to daily needs. Its proximity to the city means it functions largely as a commuter area, with good road links into the urban core. The ward includes the grounds of Hereford Rugby Club, a significant local sports facility.

A notable feature is the presence of Holmer Trading Estate, one of the city's main industrial and commercial zones, providing local employment. The ward's western boundary is partly defined by the main railway line to Shrewsbury. While largely built-up, it retains some open spaces, including playing fields and the grounds of the former Holmer Barracks, reflecting its historical military connections to the city's garrison.
