Why Move to Hereford?
The cathedral city of Hereford is nestled in the renowned Wye Valley. Known for its breath-taking backdrop of untouched landscapes and ancient woodlands, it is also the historical capital city of Herefordshire, boasting one of the oldest and most magnificent Cathedrals in England, dating from 1079AD.
Although stunning, the city is not particularly known for its commuter links, which far from detracting from its appeal, makes for a real sense of community in the area. This is a place which offers a safe, balanced pace of life within a town bursting with character and packed full of exciting things to do and see.
The towns medieval centre has international importance. It boasts the award winning Mappa Mundi centre, housing the largest medieval map in the world and two of the most extensive Chained Libraries in existence.
Farming has played a major part in the history of the county of Herefordshire, and for many years the City of Hereford was the epicentre of this success.
Today business is still predominantly agricultural, and the area is famed for its cider and other natural produce. In recent years Engineering, Finance, IT and tourism related work have increased drastically; all contributing to the city’s growing economy.
Sitting on the River Wye and close to the Welsh border, Hereford may be a little remote for commuters, but for those who do travel for work, Cardiff and Birmingham are both around a 90-minute drive away. By rail, Cardiff can be reached in just under an hour and Birmingham an hour and a half.
Hereford itself is undergoing significant and continued regeneration, the city already has a brand-new leisure centre.
Retail is centred around two main shopping areas, The Old Butter Market and Maylords shopping centres.
Both have a good selection of high street brand names such as Marks & Spencer, Debenhams, River Island and H&M as well a great choice of coffee shops and restaurants. Both great places to shop, eat and relax in historic Hereford.
