Welcome to Hereford
Hereford is an historic Cathedral City with a fascinating past and a busy
present. Its modern 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 53,000 people and a focal point of a rich
farming area.
