You’ve arrived in Hereford, a beautiful, historic cathedral city as well as the county town of Herefordshire, England. This much-loved area, long a popular tourist destination, finds itself approximately 16 miles east of the border with Wales.
Also relatively nearby are Worcester (24 miles) and Gloucester (23 miles). You don’t have to venture that far, however, to get an Afternoon Tea in Hereford. Below is a list of some of the best choices of venues.
The name Hereford is of Anglo-Saxon origin, with here meaning an army or formation of soldiers and ford being a river crossing. Historians suggest that this could allude to Hereford once being a place where a body of armed men forded or crossed the nearby River Wye.
For hundreds of years, the settlement specialised in cider, beer, leather goods, nickel alloys, poultry, chemicals and cattle. Nowadays, it is better known for several Afternoon Tea Hereford establishments.
