\nThis isolated city near the Welsh border has a fine bone structure and hidden treasuresWhat\u2019s going for it? There\u2019s a marvellous carving in Hereford Cathedral of actual pigs in actual blankets. Pigs in blankets! I wish I could show it to you. I mention this only to demonstrate that Hereford is a city that hides many treasures. First, it is a city, although it does sometimes betray a whiff of provincialism. Nonetheless, its relative isolation out towards the Welsh border, and the independent character and wealth that have grown over the centuries, have given the city a fine \u2013 if not beautiful \u2013 bone structure of civic architecture in ruddy stone. Recent decades, though, have not been quite so kind to Hereford: ring roads, economic sagginess and ill-advised paving schemes or public art, many attempts have been made to \u201cimprove\u201d the city; they have not. There are glimmers of revival, though, the barest inklings of an understanding of its fine, unique character: the cattle it has bred for centuries, say, or the hidden beauty of some of its streets. Hereford\u2019s heyday, I feel, is yet to come. Related: Let\u2019s move to Blaenafon, Gwent: \u2018Money and hard work have spruced it up\u2019 Continue reading…
