Histoire

The Royal National College for the Blind [RNC] was first established in London in 1872. Throughout its history RNC has provided further education and training for persons who are blind or visually impaired [VI] to facilitate their independence in society.

Lunch and dinner is available for groups of 10 or more at additional cost, and must be booked in advance. The same option (for two or three course dining) must be selected for each diner, with a vegetarian option if anyone requires it. These meal choices will be made specially, and will not otherwise be available as a choice on the night.

Espaces verts et alentours

Churchill Gardens is a large park which has the most spectacular views over the city of Hereford as well as the Welsh borderlands and is a short walking distance from Gardner Hall. It is an unspoilt and often quiet area to visit, with benches dotted about the gardens making it suitable for picnicking. There is a fragrant garden containing plants known for their aromatic traits and the mini arboretum is a popular place for casual strollers as well as dog walkers. There’s a car park nearby at Venns Lane.

Aylestone Park consists of three differing areas; for sports, for general recreation and for wildlife.  A network of footpaths winds throughout the site including disabled access to all parts.  The higher end of the Park provides beautiful views over Herefordshire, and has a superb viewing point and telescope installed, together with picnic tables and park seats strategically sited over the whole area.
