Hereford is the kind of city that does things at its own pace. It's compact and easy to wander, full of character, with old buildings leaning slightly into cobbled streets and a river that winds through the heart of it all. Sitting snugly in the middle of Herefordshire's green countryside, it feels more like a market town with cathedral status than a bustling metropolis – and that's part of its charm. You'll find a mix of independent shops, traditional pubs, historic nooks, and some cracking places to eat, all within strolling distance.

The city's roots go back a long way. It grew up around the River Wye and became a centre of power and religion in the Anglo-Saxon period. The cathedral was started in the 11th century and still stands as the focal point of the city, housing the Mappa Mundi and one of the oldest chained libraries in the world. Hereford grew steadily through the medieval period thanks to its markets, wool trade, and central location. These days, the population sits at around 62,000. It's still very much the county's beating heart – for work, shopping, education and culture – and holds onto its heritage with quiet confidence.

Hereford Cathedral is the main draw, not just for the building itself, but for what's inside – the Mappa Mundi is a real one-of-a-kind. Just nearby, The Old House is a beautifully preserved timber-framed home from the 1600s, now a museum. You'll find art galleries, theatres, riverside paths and open green spaces like Castle Green and Bishops Meadow. Food and drink play a big role too – Herefordshire cider has made the city proud, and you'll find plenty of places celebrating that heritage. National Trust's The Weir Garden is just a few miles away – a riverside spot perfect for a peaceful afternoon. Not far beyond the city, Berrington Hall, Croft Castle and Brockhampton Estate all offer impressive grounds, period interiors and space to stretch your legs.

The rest of Herefordshire adds even more to the mix. Head east to Ledbury for poetry and half-timbered houses, or west towards the Black Mountains if you fancy a walk with a view. Ross-on-Wye has riverside charm and antique shops, while Leominster's got its own laid-back rhythm and some great second-hand finds. The black and white villages trail is a lovely route through traditional countryside, stopping at spots like Weobley, Eardisland and Pembridge. For walkers, Offa's Dyke and the Wye Valley Walk take you through some of the most scenic corners of the county.

Hereford's not hard to reach. It sits on the A49 and A465, so it's well linked by road to Worcester, Shrewsbury and south into Wales. The train station is close to the centre, with services to Cardiff, Birmingham, Manchester and London Paddington via Newport. Bus services run across the county, with more local routes branching out to nearby villages. The nearest airport is Birmingham, just under two hours away, and Bristol is another decent option, depending on where you're heading. Most of the city itself is easy to navigate on foot, and cycling is becoming more popular too.

Herefordshire as a county still feels rooted in the land. It's known for farming, cider-making, and quiet, rural beauty. Life doesn't move too fast here – it's a place of hedgerows, cattle markets and riverside walks. But that doesn't mean it's stuck in the past. There's a thriving creative scene, good food and drink, and a growing number of people choosing to live and work here for the quality of life. It's rural England with substance – green, welcoming and full of quiet surprises.
