The city has a pedigree of education with its numerous schools and the establishment of NMITE (New Model Institute for Technology and Engineering), and is home to the British Army Special Air Service. The grand regeneration project under the Edgar Street Grid ensures that Hereford's city centre is enlivened with new facilities, ensuring that this ancient city keeps moving with the times.

When to visit Hereford

The allure of Hereford is ever-present, but to experience it at its absolute best, aim to visit within the sun-drenched months of late July and early August. If you relish the gentle patter of rain, September, April, and March are the months where significant rain is at its lowest. Don't mind the humidity? Visit in November, but if you'd rather a crisp climate, May is your ideal month.

For those who prefer a gentle breeze while wandering through the city, January, March and May offer the windiest months. If you're budget savvy and seek a perfect blend of moderate weather and lower prices, plan your visit during the spring or fall. Hereford, with its maritime climate, moderate rainfall, and distinct charm, is ready to welcome you during any season.
