# 24 – Visit a UK city that you have never been to before


I liked the idea of this experience a lot as I’ve done a far bit of global travelling but my knowledge of UK towns and cities is shamefully poor! I was however concerned as to when I would have time to complete this challenge. With my weekends getting very full and 31s arrival getting closer and closer time was running out. However, during our three day mini break in Wales (see experience 27) we crossed back over the border to the nearby city of Hereford. It was a lovely city. We visited the cathedral which has beautiful grounds and pottered around the centre. It has a real agricultural feel (similar to Taunton) with a good number of shops. There was a small market going on in the centre where we bought our first ever antique. Slightly randomly this was a yoke Bristol to Taunton sign from a dray horse on the canal. With me being from Bristol and my husband from Taunton we thought it might look cool in our home. Overall we had a lovely day in Hereford and I’d recommend visiting if you are nearby.

  1. you antique purchase sounds great!Think i must have missed an experience or two - will go back and check now. What fun you are having with this, such a great excuse to do lots of new things. Gosh some you'll have to fit in with a bundle in a sling attached to you! x
