IT was a day of celebration at one of Herefordshire s most iconic landmarks as the newly restored bridge across the weir was officially opened. Edward Harley OBE, Lord-Lieutenant of Herefordshire, and his wife, Victoria, a recent Commissioner for Historic England, opened the bridge, which was originally installed back in 1828. The wrought-iron bridge over the weir connects the north and south paths around the 14 acre lake. Many thousands of visitors have walked across the bridge over the years, leading to disrepair, so it was decided in early 2020 that the bridge needed some significant repair work. As work was about to begin however, the Coronavirus pandemic hit and the Eastnor Estate made a decision to halt any non-essential repairs.
