Hereford Castle

Hereford Castle var en borg, der stod i byen Hereford i Herefordshire, England. Den blev grundlagt på et tidspunkt inden 1052, og det var en af de tidligste stenfæstninger i England. Hereford Castle blev sandsynligvis ødelagt da waliserne raserede Hereford i 1055, men den synes at være blevet erstattet af en ny borg i de følgende årtier. Under borgerkrigen under kong Stefan af Blois blev borgen belejret tre gange. Garnisonen overgav sig hver gang og kontrollen af borgen skiftede derfor flere gange.
Under Glyndwroprøret i begyndelsen af 1400-tallet brugt kong Henrik 4. af England borgen som udgangspunkt for sine kampagner i Wales.

Hereford Castle The green area in which the memorial stands was once the site of Hereford Castle. By the end of the English Civil War the castle was in much need of repair. Instead however is was largely demolished and the motte, visible in the trees was much reduced. Toady this is an open public area.
