Exploring the treasures of Hereford

As part of their course, Level 1 Aspire students are diving into a unit titled 'Exploring Local Tourist Attractions'. This unit requires them to explore some of Hereford's tourist attractions, encompassing the natural world, historical landmarks, and man-made attractions.

Their first visit started at the Hereford Tourist Information Centre, which is located in Hereford's beautiful Town Hall. There they met Steve who shed light on how the Centre operates and, as a former RNC student himself, was able to provide valuable insights specifically on how he worked and how the Centre assists tourists in planning their visit to the county.

Following this enlightening visit, the students found themselves face-to-face with a Hereford icon – the Hereford Bull. This life-size bronze statue offered a chance for close-up inspection. By studying the details and sheer size of the sculpture, students gained a deeper appreciation for this powerful Hereford breed.

The next visits planned are two highly anticipated destinations: the historic Hereford Cathedral and the natural beauty of Queenswood Arboretum. Stay tuned for updates on their upcoming adventures.
