Hereford.


I live in Hereford, a small city, yes i no you hear the word city and you think wow, that's not small its big, well ill put it this way Hereford has city status because we have a cathedral on other terms Hereford is a town with a cathedral = City. We are a small place surrounded by beautiful untouched, unspoiled Herefordshire country side. Hereford is not served by any major motorways or roads and is limited to how you get here, You can cross county through Herefordshire country side, catch a bus which will also cross country or get a train. Hereford lies on the river wye. Hereford is the home of Bulmers Cider (Apple picking time is always a great one with the lovely smell of apples in the air from the Bulmers Factory), The Bulls, Hereford United Football Club (HUFC). and of course Hereford Cattle (Hence The Bulls.) Although mistaken to be in the country of Wales, I assure Hereford lies in England although only 16 miles from the border of Wales. Hereford Cathedral is home to the Mappa Mundi which dates back to the 13th century although restored in the 20th century (If you don't know what it is research it... NOW!) and also the world famous chained library. Hereford is twined with 2 places Dillenberg - Germany and Vierzon - France. Hereford has a population of 50,400.
