When to go
The best time to visit Hereford

Comfortable means average daytime high between 18 °C and 29 °C and under 80 mm of rain in the month. Averages for 1991–2020 over the surrounding area, a grid square about 50 km across, so a coast or a nearby mountain can make the town itself warmer or cooler.

Getting there
Getting to Hereford: airports and arrival
The nearest airport with scheduled flights is Bristol Airport (BRS), about 75 km from the city centre in a straight line; Birmingham Airport (BHX, 79 km) and Cardiff International Airport (CWL, 85 km) are also within reach.
Getting in
Herefordshire is a rural county and this is reflected in its transport links to Hereford. Roads from Gloucester or other places tend to be slow and bus transport from neighbouring counties isn't exceptional.
Getting around
Confusingly, Hereford has three bus termini: the City Bus Station behind the Tesco supermarket in Bewell Street, that mostly covers urban routes; one on St Peter’s Square; and the Country Bus Station behind the former Odeon cinema in Commercial Road. Weather protection is barely adequate (no heated waiting rooms). Some county lines depart from outside the Hereford railway station and also stop at the Country Bus Station. Other services depart from the "County Bus Station" (behind the cinema on Commercial Road - about 3 minutes walk from the station).
