Hereford City Centre

The City of Hereford straddles the banks of the River Wye and with a friendly market town atmosphere, Hereford has been the market and commercial centre of Herefordshire farming communities for hundreds of years.

Hereford is a lovely city with a lively feel. There are lots of things to do, not least indulging in some shopping! Wander around the independent stores in the historical centre and call in to the adjacent brand spanking new prestigious Old Market, built on the site of the old livestock market. The livestock market has a new, modern home just outside Hereford on Roman Road featuring regular auction sales of the region’s livestock.

As well as the characteristic warm welcome you’ll find the finest food, drink and produce at the top of menus. From great products that made Herefordshire famous such as Hereford Beef, cider, perry, potatoes, soft fruit and fruit juices – to the feasts that are making the name again, including gourmet crisps, cheese, asparagus and the revival in real ales.
