HEREFORD WALK FEATURING HIGH TOWN, CASTLE GREEN AND HEREFORD CATHEDRAL
"Hereford Cathedral, High Town and Castle Green”
Filmed 29th October 2018
Post-production completed 9th September 2019
The city of Hereford was one of the furthest away locations reached by the regional bus service, on which I used to ride when I travelled all over the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean in my teenage years, so I decide to return having not been for many years. Furthermore, as another of my favourite English cities, I felt Hereford would make a wonderful place as a bookend to all my recent trips to the Wye Valley…..
Filmed in the city of Hereford in the county of Herefordshire. Locations include the Wye Bridge, High Town, St Peter’s Square, Castle Green, Hereford Cathedral and Victoria Bridge. This is the last of the series of films shot in 2018 celebrating 25 years of “The Solitary Rambler”.
Written, researched, directed, camera and sound, edited and music by Patrick Leach.

Maybe it was a bonus for us that you were a little 'cream crackered', Patrick (sorry)! It was a real treat to see The City of Hereford in all its glory. I never knew that there are so many historic buildings to the place, that you've shown us on this film. Everything about the city is very interesting, finally ending at the cathedral, which is an astonishing structure. The opening scene on this video, depicting the ancient Wye bridge with the cathedral in the background, would be ideal for a professional oil painter to tackle, it's so picturesque. Many thanks, Patrick, and I hope that you made a good move into your new property.

I remember feeling so tired from the recent move back then that I really didn't want to be filming this at the time, but I'd already paid for my Travelodge in Hereford so didn't want to lose my money. Thankfully it was nothing strenuous to film, so I got it done in the end. Hereford is a lovely city as you saw in this. The move itself was pretty stressful from what I recall, as moving house always is. However, I'm in a different home now since filming this. Thanks as always Ffranc for watching 👍

I am also glad Patrick that you came back to Hereford at a time of much upheaval for you. It looked and sounded like the antidote to moving house that you needed. I love this City, the place of my birth and its surrounds and I feel fortunate to live here. You showcased Hereford superbly. Thank you very much for generously mentioning my KZfaq channel. Very much appreciated. It would lovely to meet and share a walk one day. Thank you. Paul 😊

Thanks Paul, it's been a long time since I was last in Hereford, but it's always been a favourite city of mine. Coming back last October showed me that my appreciation of it hadn't changed. Thanks for your kind comments as always Paul, pleasure to mention your own channel whilst I was there. It certainly would be great to meet and do a walk some time. All the best. Cheers, Patrick :)

Random Thoughts: 1. Great tour of an historic city. 2. Magnificent cathedral! 3. Video is so well-done: variety of scenes, voice-over info, unobtrusive yet interesting music, expert editing. 4. You have a great mom. She has an awesome son. 5. Weren’t you fortunate in having such lovely weather that day to do your walk/filming! 6. You seemed your usual relaxed self in spite of having squeezed this walk into the days around your move. 7. I love all the comments: you have amassed a coterie of KZfaq supporters. 8. Your lovely deep voice would be much appreciated by a choir. 😉

1. It was a pleasure being in this lovely city at the time of filming this. 2. Isn't it so? :) 3. Thank you for that, there was more narration to record in this one leaving little room for music, but I was happy with the result. 4. My mum is fab, always been my best friend. 5. It was a perect day weatherwise and I love this time of year with the autumn colours. 6. I was very tired when I was here because of the move, but I had already paid for my stay in the nearby Travelodge so that was a good incentive not to waste my money :) 7. I feel very lucky that I have gained more supporters in recent years and I am very grateful for that. 8. Thank you for the idea, still need some practice with the singing though :)

Once again a really interesting video, loved the amazing Cathedral, Timber framed buildings along with the old churches. Such beautiful views of the surrounding countryside, nice to see some old historical remains too, it all adds to the experience. The statue of the bull was amazing! All in all, lots to see and lots to explore an excellent place for just about anyone. Some memories are priceless! Thank you again for all the work you've put into your videos and looking forward to more soon. Be safe on your travels and take care. Vivien 😊👍

All the best. Cheers, Patrick :)

Blimey Patrick where do I begin? Well, firstly it was another great Patrick Leach production, which I always enjoy settling down to. I actually made a fresh brew. I'll speak about All Saints. After our rave parties were shut down in the early 90's a friend of ours Nigel commissioned a large Arthurian round table made out of Herefordshire Oak. Under our name 'Transition' it was gifted to the city in 1994 as a means of breaking barriers down and creating dialogue between groups. It was dedicated by the then Bishop of Hereford Rev John Oliver and housed in the South Chapel of All Saints. Some eminent people talked on the table and we were responsible for motivating some pretty key projects in the city/county both social and green. Well, I enjoyed that Patrick. I knew every corner, building and blade of grass. Any way, if interested here is a video of the round table I did at a gathering in Shropshire kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLKBhZlor6mtmn0.html. It's out of All Saints now and is being looked after by Nigel and attends various events. A big thank you for the shout out. That means a lot to me. See you in the future. Mark

@solitaryrambler 4 жыл бұрын

I knew you would of course know all the places seen here Mark. It was great to have been back in Hereford after so many years and my love of the city hasn't diminished. Thanks for the info on All Saints, that's a great contribution you made there Mark. I'll take a look at the link you've provided so thanks for that. The day I filmed this I had stayed overnight in Hereford Grafton Travelodge, and I walked into King Street for a great breakfast at a really nice cafe, King Street Kitchen I think it was called. Got there when it opened at 8am, so a brilliant start to the day before I started filming, Thanks for watching Mark and a real pleasure for the shout out whilst I was there. See you soon and all the best. Cheers, Patrick :)
