Herefordshire is situated in the Marches, the beautiful borderland straddling the English and Welsh border, and is the heart of unspoilt rural England.
The landscape is truly delightful, gently rolling countryside nestling between the high ridges of the Black Mountains to the West and the Malvern Hills to the East, with the River Wye shaping the contours in its midst, flowing from Hay-on-Wye, down through the county to Hereford City itself, and then on South to Ross-on-Wye and Symonds Yat. Castles, cider apple orchards, countryside attractions: all are glimpses of Herefordshire`s distinctive and unique culture.
