 Hereford,
famously home of the SAS, is a cathedral town with a medieval
bridge over the River Wye. David Garrick and Nell Gwynne born
here (see plaque in Gwynne Place).
Due to its age, originally founded in Saxon times, the town
retains a mix of buildings from almost every British era.
There are many almshouses, often medieval in origin and the
Old House (1621), All Saints Church, Kilpeck Church and
Booth Hall are worth a visit.
The cathedral, established in the 7th century, is 13th and
15th century, is an important part of the town, and has St
Stephens Chair, 800 years old. Its new library has manuscripts
and early books, including its Mappa Mundi, a 13th Century
view of the world on vellum, and a chained library of 1500
books..
Famous as a cider producing town, as Bulmers make the cider
here.
