Guided walks in the beautiful and historic city of Hereford
Welcome to Hereford
Hereford is a historic Cathedral City with a fascinating past and a busy present. Its origins lie in the 7th century and its strategic site on the Wye, in the much-disputed borderland between England and Wales, made it as important to the Saxons as to the Normans and their successors.
The city played a leading part in the events before and after the Norman Conquest, through the turbulent Middle Ages and during the Civil War. It developed as a quiet market town and Cathedral City. Today it is vigorous and thriving, a home for 61,900 people and a focal point of a rich farming area.
