About Herefordshire
Located in the south-west of our region, Herefordshire is home to wooded hills, historic market towns and riverside valleys including an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at the Wye Valley.
The market towns of Herefordshire have traditionally been associated as agricultural centres, however today these towns are attracting a variety of business and commercial organisations from food produce to high technology.
Many events take place in Herefordshire throughout the year including Ledbury Poetry Festival, Ross International Festival, Bromyard Folk Festival and the acclaimed Three Choirs Festival. The Cathedral used for the festival houses the Chained Library and the famous Mappa Mundi, a unique map of the world dating back to AD 1300.
The distinctive black and white market towns in Herefordshire provide an opportunity to explore the many antique shops, craft shops and specialist food outlets that the area has to offer.
