Hereford and Worcester was a short-lived English county. It was created in 1974 by joining Herefordshire and Worcestershire, but this proved unpopular, and the two counties were separated again in 1998.
The county was divided into nine districts:
- Wyre Forest
- Bromsgrove
- Redditch
- Wychavon
- Worcester
- Malvern Hills
- Leominster
- Hereford
- South Herefordshire
When the county was abolished in 1998, the Malvern Hills district was divided. The eastern part (plus a small part of Leominster) became the new Malvern Hills district of Worcestershire. The rest of Malvern Hills and Leominster, plus Hereford and South Herefordshire, became the new unitary county of Herefordshire.
