The Cathedral also hosts The Three Choirs Festival. Hereford is also famous as a livestock and agricultural centre while Hereford cattle with their white faces are exported to over 120 countries throughout the world.
High Town is the focal point of the city and a centre for shopping. Nearby is the Buttermarket with its traditional market stalls. In contrast is the 20th century Courtyard Centre for the arts and new Riverside facilities.
Hereford has a wide variety of Museums and is within easy reach of many sites of historic interest. It is also a centre for walkers either within the city or over longer distances. The nearby Forest of Dean is another favourite with walkers, naturalists and bird watching enthusiasts.
