Hereford
Hereford is a cathedral city that is 24km from the border with Wales which explains the largely Welsh speaking population and the Welsh names of most places. Hereford lies on the river Rye and is thought to have acquired its name from the fact that a group of armed men (here) crossed (forded) the Rye river in that area. It gained recognition as a city centuries ago and is the original home of the Hereford breed of cattle.
