Hereford city walls, ramparts and ditch is a medieval defensive structure surrounding the historic city of Hereford. The walls were constructed primarily during the 12th and 13th centuries, with subsequent repairs and modifications undertaken through the medieval period and beyond. The circuit of fortifications enclosed the important market town and cathedral city, featuring substantial earthen ramparts and a protective ditch system that remain visible in places today. Sections of the stone walls survive, particularly in the eastern and southern portions of the city, representing a significant example of medieval urban fortification in the Welsh Marches.
