Looking for Man and Van Hire in Herefordshire?

Herefordshire, also called Hereford, unitary authority and historic county that covers a roughly circular area in the Welsh borderland of west-central England. The city of Hereford, in the center of the unitary authority, is the administrative center.

The historic county includes three small areas outside the unitary authority. One, just south of Ludlow, is in the South Shropshire region of the administrative county of Shropshire. The others are in the Malvern Hills district of the administrative county of Worcestershire: one is the area between Leigh Sinton and Acton Green, and the other is the parish of Stoke Bliss. Conversely, the unitary authority includes three small areas that are part of the historic county of Worcestershire: the parishes of Edvin Loach and Acton Beauchamp and an area including West Malvern and Mathon.

The unitary authority and county centre on a lowland plain drained by the River Wye and its tributaries. The plain borders scarplands of Silurian shale and limestone in the northwest and the Woolhope Dome and Malvern foothills in the east. The core of the Malvern Hills, with an elevation above 1,300 feet (400 metres), comprises Precambrian gneisses and volcanic rocks. Those hills form the boundary with Worcestershire. The Forest of Dean plateau lies to the southeast. In the west, along the Welsh border, lie the sandstone Black Mountains, which exceed 2,200 feet (670 metres) in elevation.

Herefordshire has always been a rich agricultural area, and agriculture remains a major activity there. The county is more heavily wooded than most of England. Pear and apple orchards produce fruit, some of it for the local cider industry. Herefordshire’s hops production is second in England only to that of the county of Kent. The Hereford breed of cattle is world famous, and the Ryelands breed of sheep, also well known, originated in the Ross-on-Wye area. The manufacture of agricultural machinery, fruit canning and processing, cider production, and milk processing are carried on in Hereford and other market towns. Hereford also produces furniture and is a service center.
