Castle ward sits at the heart of Hereford in Herefordshire, England, covering the historic city core around Hereford Cathedral and the riverside where the River Wye and River Lugg meet. Narrow streets of Georgian and Victorian buildings mix with civic squares and the remnant site of the medieval castle that gives the ward its name, making it one of the most visibly historic parts of the city.
It is a lively urban neighbourhood with a blend of shops, cafés, pubs, cultural attractions and public services; tourism and the cathedral draw steady footfall while local retailers and community groups keep a year-round bustle. Riverside walks, regular events and nearby museums give the ward a social and economic role that balances everyday city living with heritage-led tourism.
