Hereford (Welsh: Henffordd) is an historic city in the west of England, close to the border with Wales and on the River Wye it is the county town of Herefordshire. In 2001, Hereford had a population of 54,842.

Hereford has a cathedral which dates from 1079 which contains the Mappa Mundi, a medieval map of the world dating from the 13th century and restored in the late 20th. An early town charter from 1189 describes it as 'Hereford in Wales'.

It is known chiefly as a trading centre for a wider agricultural and rural area. Products from Hereford include: (Bulmer's) cider, beer, leather goods, cattle, metal goods and chemicals.

Hereford is the home of the Special Air Service or SAS.

On April 1, 1998, Hereford lost its district status with the creation of the new unitary Herefordshire. Charter Trustees were appointed to preserve mayoral traditions until a civil parish council could be set up in 2000.
