Hereford City
The heart of Herefordshire
The small city of Hereford has a rich heritage dating back to Roman times. Known for its stunning cathedral, Hereford is famously home to the Mappa Mundi. This historically very significant medieval map offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of the 14th century. The Chained Library in the Cathedral contains manuscripts dating back to the 8th Century. The cathedral is architecturally impressive, with its Norman structure and serene cloisters. The Hereford Cider Museum brings life to the area’s long history of cider-making. The city is home to much creativity, as seen in its markets, independent shops and restaurants. Hereford and its surroundings make an eclectic mix of history, culture, and nature – a delightful area to explore.
