www. visithere fordshire.co.uk 25 Central How charming Hereford is! Despite its status as a city, Hereford still retains a distinctly unhurried pace of life. At its historic heart are the wide open spaces of High Town, its traditional marketplace where farmers, garden, antique and general markets are still held. From here a narrow street lined with cafes and speciality shops leads to the cathedral and the dazzling medieval map of the world – the Mappa Mundi.

The traditional Hereford Wednesday cattle market has moved to brand spanking premises just outside the city, providing the opportunity to sensitively develop a modern shopping venue with a range of eateries and a cinema complex – all within easy strolling distance of the traditional historic quarter.

You may know of Hereford for its gentle white-faced cattle, or as the home of the most productive cider company in the country, yet all in all Hereford is an exciting blend of traditional and new with character and charm.
