Widemarsh is a ward on the western edge of Hereford in Herefordshire, England, forming part of the transition between the city centre and the surrounding countryside. It has a mixed character: residential streets of varied ages sit alongside pockets of light industry, retail and local services, with good road links into the centre and out towards rural Herefordshire.
The area has roots in the 19th and 20th‑century expansion of Hereford and still features green spaces such as Widemarsh Common, local schools, churches and community groups. Socially and economically it is diverse, with ongoing local initiatives and modest regeneration projects reflecting a neighbourhood that balances urban convenience with easy access to the county’s rural landscape.
