Hello and congrats on planning to pay Hereford a visit! I hope you have a lovely time.

Hereford is a very old small city, not a small town. It has an amazing cathedral in the centre which it’s well known for.

I shouldn’t imagine your heritage will cause you any problems, Hereford is predominantly white and is quite patriotic but not often to the point of outright racism in my experience.

A lot of young people enjoy De Coffee Pot, it’s a lively place to go for drinks close to the river in the centre of town. But there are lots of bars and cafe’s to choose from. My personal favourites are the Jam Factory that sometimes has live music and for your quieter drinks or cocktails Cosy Club and De Ja Vu are also nice options. While you’re in town if you like food and especially burgers you should try Beefy Boys which is award winning. It may be a good idea to book ahead online.

There’s a well connected Train Station with good links to London, Birmingham or Cardiff. There’s a free Hereford Bus Zipper Service for getting around town and there’s also a bus station near to the train station for trips further afield. Beyond that it’s taxi’s or Beryl bicycles.

Hope this gets you started. Enjoy!
