Places to see in ( Hereford - UK )
Hereford is a cathedral city, civil parish and county town of Herefordshire, England. It lies on the River Wye, approximately 16 miles east of the border with Wales, 24 miles southwest of Worcester, and 23 miles northwest of Gloucester.
The name Hereford is said to come from the Anglo-Saxon here, an army or formation of soldiers, and the ford, a place for crossing a river. If this is the origin it suggests that Hereford was a place where a body of armed men forded or crossed the Wye. The Welsh name for Hereford is Henffordd, meaning old road, and probably refers to the Roman road and Roman settlement at nearby Stretton Sugwas. Much of the county of Herefordshire was Welsh-speaking, as reflected in the Welsh names of many places in the county (see History of Herefordshire).
An early town charter from 1189 granted by Richard I of England describes it as Hereford in Wales. Hereford has been recognised as a city since time immemorial, with the status being reconfirmed as recently as October 2000.
Hereford is served by a 4-platform railway station on the Welsh Marches Line which opened in 1854. Services regularly connect to Worcester, Birmingham, London, Manchester, Cardiff and other settlements in Wales. The station is currently operated by Arriva Trains Wales. A second station, Hereford Barton, was closed and later redeveloped. A new station is proposed for construction in the government-designated Enterprise zone in Rotherwas, south of the River Wye.

January 2008 -- February 2012 (4 years 2 months) Newbridge on Wye and on location in Mid Wales
Blue MacAskill and her husband artist and co-director of MOCA Cymru - the contemporary live arts organisation based in Mid Wales won a grant to make films in and around Newbridge on Wye on location, turning the village into Wales's mini-Hollywood for the month of October for Powys Arts Month. This project follows their hugely successful GLASU funded Live Art Performance WALKS in 2010 around Mid Wales, celebrating Art in the landscape. Called Walking With Artist: INTERACTIVE WALKING & MAKING - The walk fed live back to the website and gallery through Twitter. Walkers were encourage to update any images and works to Facebook, and my space on The Walks experimented with film documentation and live recording that recalled and re-developed for the end show on the 25th-27th June 2010. This is contemporary public art for the 21st century.

MOUNTAIN BIKING DOWNHILL WITH PEDALABIKEAWAY
Ever fancy mountain biking down a steep hill in Forest of the Dean or Wye Valley in the UK - one of Britain's top adventure destination secrets?
You're in luck, PedalABikeAway is a great mountain biking organisation based in the heart of the trails in the Forest of the Dean run by expert guides who can advise you on the best way to mountain bike.
For me, it was a great deal as mountain biking is one of my biggest fears ever since I had an accident in 2014 in Finland where I broke three ribs.
So, it was time to get back on it. Read more about my story in Forest of the Dean here:
