Conningsby Museum in Hereford is well worth a visit. Also, just a stroll around the city, Church Street, Castle Street, The Castle Green (with St Ethelberts Well and the Fosse), across the Victoria Bridge, a lovely walk by the river Wye to Bridge Street. Plenty of great pubs but the Barrels (Wye Valley Brewery) is probably your best bet.

I'm off to Worcester, Gloucester and Hereford in a week or so. Apart from the three cathedrals, obviously, what shouldn't I miss in each of the three cities? I won't be exploring outside of them to other places round about, so it's the three cities I'm really interested in. Thanks!

@EffMktHype I’ve lived here 16 years and live a 10 minute walk from East Coast, it has always looked like that 😅

@infosec_fox The other day my wife was complaining her MacBook was being slow, I asked her if she’d defragged the drive as that could help. She had no idea what I was talking about. I Googled it, apparently it’s no longer a “thing” 😅

Who remembers running defrag and watching the screen rearrange all the data?
