Hereford catherdral is a great (free) place to spend an hour or two. It's a really great historical old building where worship has taken place for over a thousand years. Great examples of Norman and medieval architectural as well as some fine stained glass both old and modern. The guides always in attendance are very knowledgeable (if slightly boring, well... More

We thoroughly enjoyed the whole aspect from the stained glass windows in the main cathedral, other areas we were able to see but especially the exhibition which was around £4pp to visit (over 1 yr ago). Seeing the Mappa Mundi, the chained library and many marvellous pictures and other historical items, they also had a very informative curator. Weather very... More

Inside this cafe is rather dated and drab, it's a nice place to take your elderly mum but wouldn't recommend inside with young children. Outside seating is in a beautiful garden area, toilets also outside. Food is good quality, coffee not so good if you want a proper cup of coffe, best to opt for tea. scones delicious, although not...

Those that run the Cathedral should be congratulated on an impressive display. Whilst the Mappa Mundi - and to some degree the Chained Library - are the primary draws ... the actual main body of the Cathedral is worthy of an hour of anyone's time. I would strongly recommend taking one of the two daily guided tours (11:05 and 14:05).... More
