About

Greyfriars ward encompasses a primarily residential area within Hereford city centre. The ward is bordered by the River Wye to the west and includes the historic Greyfriars footbridge, a key pedestrian link. The streets are characterised by a mix of Victorian terraced housing and more modern developments, with local convenience shops and services catering to residents. It functions as a quiet neighbourhood in close proximity to the city's commercial heart.

The ward contains several green spaces, including the small but well-used Broomy Hill playing fields. A notable feature is the site of the former Greyfriars monastery, from which the area takes its name, with surviving remnants integrated into later buildings. The area provides direct access to the riverside paths along the Wye, popular for walking and cycling. Its layout reflects its history as a suburb that expanded significantly during the 19th century.
