4K WALKING IN HEREFORD ENGLAND
Hereford (/ˈhɛrɪfərd/ (About this sound listen)) is a cathedral city, civil parish and county town of Herefordshire, England. It lies on the River Wye, approximately 16 miles (26 km) east of the border with Wales, 24 miles (39 km) southwest of Worcester, and 23 miles (37 km) northwest of Gloucester. With a population of 58,896,[1] it is the largest settlement in the county.
The name Hereford is said to come from the Anglo-Saxon here, an army or formation of soldiers, and the ford, a place for crossing a river. If this is the origin it suggests that Hereford was a place where a body of armed men forded or crossed the Wye. The Welsh name for Hereford is Henffordd, meaning old road, and probably refers to the Roman road and Roman settlement at nearby Stretton Sugwas. Much of the county of Herefordshire was Welsh-speaking, as reflected in the Welsh names of many places in the county (see History of Herefordshire).
An early town charter from 1189 granted by Richard I of England describes it as Hereford in Wales.[2] Hereford has been recognised as a city since time immemorial, with the status being reconfirmed as recently as October 2000.[3][4]
It is now known chiefly as a trading centre for a wider agricultural and rural area. Products from Hereford include: cider, beer, leather goods, nickel alloys, poultry, chemicals, and cattle, including the famous Hereford breed.
Hereford to Newport (Maindee East Jn) – Hastings DEMU cab ride – 24 March 2018
*The Sixty Marches* charter, Part 6:
Cab view from Hereford down the Welsh Marches Line to Newport (Maindee East Junction). Filmed from Hastings Diesels Limited’s preserved Hastings DEMU on Saturday 24 March 2018, during the return leg of The Sixty Marches private charter.
.
In this video we travel 43 miles and 79 chains in 49 minutes across Herefordshire and Monmouthshire, crossing and re-crossing the Wales/England border and skimming the edge of the Brecon Beacons. We follow the Newport, Abergavenny & Hereford railway over the summit of a steep climb at Llanvihangel, through Abergavenny on the way down the other side, and onward as far as Pontypool. From there the line becomes the Pontypool, Caerleon & Newport Railway which was built to act as a ‘bypass’ for the busy Monmouthshire Railway south of Pontypool, which the Newport, Abergavenny & Hereford Railway had originally been obliged to share. In the Pontypool area we pass a vast area which used to be heavily industrialised and served by many railway lines... all of them gone except for the one we are on, passing abandoned industry, overgrown railway sidings and a suspiciously new-looking housing estate. Ultimately we curve round the Caerleon district and cross the tidal River Usk to approach Newport and the South Wales Main Line, onto which we turn at Maindee East Junction.
.
This outing began at Hastings and ran via Tonbridge, Redhill and Guildford to Reading; then from Reading via Hungerford (part 1) to the Westbury area (part 2) where we turned right at Heywood Road Junction, through Bradford-on-Avon and Bath to Filton (part 3), through the Severn Tunnel into Wales, to Maindee Junction (Newport) (part 4) for the line through Abergavenny to Hereford (part 5); the return journey from Hereford to Newport (this part) continued via the Severn Tunnel and Bath (next part), retracing the same route.

Newport (Maindee East Jn) to Hereford – Hastings DEMU cab ride – 24 March 2018
*The Sixty Marches* charter, Part 5:
Cab view from Newport (Maindee East Junction) up the Welsh Marches Line to Hereford. Filmed from Hastings Diesels Limited’s preserved Hastings DEMU on Saturday 24 March 2018, during the outward leg of The Sixty Marches private charter.
.
In this video we travel 43 miles and 79 chains in 51 minutes across Monmouthshire and Herefordshire, crossing and re-crossing the Wales/England border and skimming the edge of the Brecon Beacons. Initially we are on the Pontypool, Caerleon & Newport Railway which was built to act as a ‘bypass’ for the busy Monmouthshire Railway south of Pontypool, which the Newport, Abergavenny & Hereford Railway had originally been obliged to share. In the Pontypool area we pass a vast area which used to be heavily industrialised and served by many railway lines... all of them gone except for the one we are on, passing abandoned industry, overgrown railway sidings and a suspiciously new-looking housing estate. North of Pontypool we are on the Newport, Abergavenny & Hereford Railway proper, and at Abergavenny we pass first the existing station and then the site of a huge station of which nothing remains. Our climb steepens to 1 in 82 and our speed eventually stabilises at 40mph as we crest the summit at Llanvihangel, thereafter we have a fast run on downhills and moderate grades into Herefordshire and eventually down into the City of Hereford.

This outing began at Hastings and ran via Tonbridge, Redhill and Guildford to Reading; then from Reading via Hungerford (part 1) to the Westbury area (part 2) where we turned right at Heywood Road Junction, through Bradford-on-Avon and Bath to Filton (part 3), through the Severn Tunnel into Wales, to Maindee Junction (Newport) (part 4) for the line through Abergavenny to Hereford (this part); the return journey was via the same route.

Trains at Hereford, WML - 29/10/18
Welcome to the latest episode of Big Trip! Today I am at Hereford on the Welsh Marches Line where services are seen by Transport for Wales, West Midlands Railway (brand of TOC West Midlands Trains) and Great Western Railway.
Hereford is a very pleasant station to visit purely because of the way it looks, it looks like a classic station that looks like it still lives in the steam age. The station has some lovely architecture and has some great mini features such as flower beds. The variety was surprisingly better than I expected and the views are ok towards the North but not fantastic but the curve towards Abergavenny is nice. The frequency was not great, it had gaps but offered up variety which is good!

Hereford is a cathedral city, civil parish and county town of Herefordshire, England. It lies on the River Wye, approximately 16 miles east of the border with Wales, 24 miles southwest of Worcester, and 23 miles northwest of Gloucester.

An early town charter from 1189 granted by Richard I of England describes it as Hereford in Wales. Hereford has been recognised as a city since time immemorial, with the status being reconfirmed as recently as October 2000.
Hereford is served by a 4-platform railway station on the Welsh Marches Line which opened in 1854. Services regularly connect to Worcester, Birmingham, London, Manchester, Cardiff and other settlements in Wales. The station is currently operated by Arriva Trains Wales. A second station, Hereford Barton, was closed and later redeveloped. A new station is proposed for construction in the government-designated Enterprise zone in Rotherwas, south of the River Wye.

Gloucester to Hereford Canal - Dymock Tunnel Search
The Gloucester to Hereford canal at Dymock in the UK.
This walk starts in Dymock where a section of canal has been restored to form a lake on the outskirts of a new estate. It is hard to see the big picture here as the surrounding land falls steeply from here on one side and is blocked by housing on the other, No doubt there is a plan.
The old canal is found after half a mile or so, and follows a ravine after a short distance. The footpath is quite a way above the waterway so that when the site of the Oxenhall tunnel is reached it is very difficult to make out details. It is reckoned to be collapsed but I'm sure I could see either the remains of the entrance or the tunnel lining. Judge for yourself.
Nice walk from here in beautiful country with a lovely old barn thrown in. At least that's what it looked like.
The canal was granted permission to be built in 1791 and work started in 1793. It reached Newent in just two years in 1795, but didn't reach Ledbury until 1832. It was finally completed to Hereford in 1845 an was closed after a mere 36 years in operation. This was mainly due to the railways proving such a strong competitor being quicker cheaper in most cases and reliable. This was true of a great many canals of the period and in fact the railway companies bought a lot of the competing canals, filled them in and built their railways on top. This was the case for this canal and the canal suffered the indignity of being used for the transport of railway building materials in the early stages of the railway build.
