My trip to the Magor Marshes, the castle and the coffee shop.



Haven`t been out much recently so I forced myself to get in the car and drive to somewhere new, despite the horrendous traffic on the M4. I went to the Magor marshes and called into the town for a cup of coffee and a look at the castle.

Hereford and surrounding areas photoshoot.

Just come back from a very enjoyable five day trip to Hereford and surrounding towns and villages. My intention being to document my adventures with photographs and explanatory text to give some idea of the wonderful Herefordshire countryside.

During my drive to Hereford I stopped for lunch and a walk around Ross on Wye, where I took a few pictures before carrying on to my final destination.










When I arrived at Hereford and settled into my hotel, I went for a walk around the city, had dinner and took a few more pictured. My main theme was the Cathedral which was very interesting which I will document later on.

 















One item of unique interest would be the Knife Angel 27ft tall, 3.5 ton sculpture of an angel made out of
100,000 confiscated knives received from 43 police forces across the UK.

Next day I visited Bromyard, a town in the Bromyard and Winslow civil parish.It is situated in the valley of the river Frome. Bromyard has a number of traditional half -timbered buildings, including some of the pubs, and the parish church dates back to Norman times.































Back to Hereford for the afternoon and evening.


After my


Back to Hereford for the afternoon and evening.


After my evening meal I took a walk around a different part of the city. One interesting picture was the electric bike carrier. The owner told me that is his future way of delivering goods to customers.
