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.
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. 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.

Yat Rock i Tintern Abbey to dwa miejsca znajdujące się nad rzeką Wye w Wielkiej Brytanii, na pograniczu Anglii i Walii. Yat Rock (Anglia) to skała z punktem widokowym w zakolu doliny rzeki Wye. Miejsce to położone około sześciu mil na zachód od centrum miasta Ross-on-Wye. Z Yat Rock spektakularnie widać meandrującą pod skałą rzekę Wye. Okolica jest popularnym miejscem dla ornitologów, gniazdują tu sokoły wędrowne. Na rzece Wye organizowane są spływy kajakowe.
Tintern Abbey (Walia) - po walijsku Abaty Tyndyrn – to ruiny opactwa cystersów, usytuowane w miejscowości Tintern, nad rzeką Wye która stanowi granicę pomiędzy Walią i Anglią. Opactwo powstało w 1131 r., za panowania króla Henryka I. Za panowania króla Henryka VIII w 1536 r., nastąpiło rozwiązaniu klasztoru. Od tego czasu zaczęło popadać w ruinę.

Tour of Raglan Castle - 13/1/18

Raglan Castle (Welsh: Castell Rhaglan) is a late medieval castle located just north of the village of Raglan in the county of Monmouthshire in south east Wales. The modern castle dates from between the 15th and early 17th-centuries, when the successive ruling families of the Herberts and the Somersets created a luxurious, fortified castle, complete with a large hexagonal keep, known as the Great Tower or the Yellow Tower of Gwent. Surrounded by parkland, water gardens and terraces, the castle was considered by contemporaries to be the equal of any other in England or Wales. During the English Civil War the castle was held on behalf of Charles I and was taken by Parliamentary forces in 1646. In the aftermath, the castle was slighted, or deliberately put beyond military use; after the restoration of Charles II, the Somersets declined to restore the castle. Raglan Castle became first a source of local building materials, then a romantic ruin, and is now a modern tourist attraction.
