Hereford, Cathedral city in Herefordshire, England.
Hereford sits along the River Wye, surrounded by agricultural lands, with the medieval cathedral forming the central point of this market settlement.
The city received its first charter in 1189 from Richard I of England, marking its status as an important trading center between England and Wales.
The Hereford Cathedral houses the Mappa Mundi, a medieval world map from the 13th century that represents geographical and religious knowledge of that period.
The central location provides access to shopping centers, educational facilities, and transportation links through the Welsh Marches railway line and major roadways.
Hereford established itself as the origin of the Hereford cattle breed, which has become one of the most numerous beef cattle breeds worldwide.
