No, Hereford is in England 16 miles from the border with Wales.

Hereford is the county-town of Herefordshire. It is now in England but it used to be a part of Wales like other counties on the English/Welsh border. Herefordshire is classed as one of the Welsh Marches or the royal houses of Wales. There have been years of debating whether or not Herefordshire should go back to Wales. An early town charter from 1189 granted by Richard I of England describes it as "Hereford in Wales".

Hereford was again targeted by the Welsh during their conflict with the Anglo-Saxon King Edward the Confessor in AD1056 when, supported by Viking allies, Gruffydd ap Llywelyn, King of Gwynedd and Powys, marched on the town and put it to the torch before returning home in triumph

What are the hereford marches?
The Marches are the borderlands between England and Wales I believe this originates from an old Anglo-Saxon word, 'Mearc' meaning boundary or something like that (off the top of my head) So the Hereford 'marches' would be the west side of the county of Herefordshire that borders Wales It isn't really referred to as the Hereford Marches though, more commonly as the Welsh Marches but i guess this term would narrow it down to those areas in Herefordshire.
