Surrounded by Welsh counties, Gloucestershire, Shropshire and Worcestershire, Herefordshire is a county in the West Midlands that is bursting with beauty. Rolling pastures and countryside charm are what make up this gorgeous part of the country, and almost wherever you are, you’ll have a superb few across farms, wide stretched lawns and woodlands. Renowned for its incredible fruit and cider production, as well as the famous Hereford cattle breed, Herefordshire attracts many visitors who enjoy good food and drink – you can often visit these orchards and farms, which are really fun on a summer’s day. At the county's centre is Hereford, a city on the River Wye, where you can take in the beauty of a stunning golden cathedral with its unique Chained Library. Stroll through the city to admire the historic half-timbered houses. And if you like adventure, enjoy the water sports, including canoeing on the River Wye.
