About

Widemarsh ward lies within the historic core of Hereford city. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of Victorian terraces and more modern housing estates. It includes the grounds of Herefordshire County Hospital and borders the commercial centre, providing easy access to urban amenities. The ward's name originates from the medieval market area known as Widemarsh Street, which remains a key thoroughfare.

A notable local feature is the Widemarsh Common, a significant open green space. This area contains the surviving remains of a medieval preaching cross and the city's former Victorian swimming baths, now a community hub. The common serves as a recreational ground and hosts regular local events, contrasting with the surrounding built-up residential streets.
