Hereford Cathedral 

The Heart of Our City

 

There is no place quite like Hereford; boasting both the charm of rural life and the liveliness of the city. There are many sites of interest and the Cathedral is a great place to start. Standing tall over the city for hundreds of years, the Cathedral is both striking and fascinating; its chambers house the famous Mappa Mundi and Chained Library. The Cathedral grounds have a delightful walled garden and cafe, a peaceful public green perfect for picnics or mingling with friends, and sits besides the River Wye, Castle Green and Bishop Meadows.
