Lovely cathedral with parking straight outside it. As today was a bank holiday the cathedral shop was shut and hardly any volunteers there. Lovely cathedral though, but don’t forget your coat of going in the cooler months.

We visited Hereford in the summer and liked it so much we came back. This time we decided to take a tour of the cathedral. Our tour guide, Erica, was really knowledgeable and gave us a fabulous tour of the highlights of the cathedral. It was so fascinating that we were amazed when she told us we were about to go and see the last part of the tour. The time had just flown by. I would very much recommend the tour. It revealed lots of hidden gems and surprises, as well as telling the history of this magnificent building.

An interesting building which is free to enter and no one is stood by the door forcing donations (like some other cathedrals). The stained glass in beautiful and a real highlight. Lovely to hear the choir practising as we walked round.

What a superb building. Loads of history beautiful architecture and helpful staff. On the very positive side this Cathedral does not charge an entrance fee. As it should be for a working church. Happy to pay a donation Had great time exploring the history

A very good visit to Hereford Cathedral, no pressure to pay or donate so was happy to leave a donation. As always I admire the wonderful architecture, skill and sheer hard work that went into building this and Britain's beautiful places of worship, I'm not religious in any way but I can understand how people have faith and are uplifted by these magnificent buildings from massive cathedrals to tiny simple churches. The highlight of Hereford is the Mappa Mundi and the Chained Library, now these are chargeable but well worth the money, the Library is fascinating, such antiquities, and the Mappa Mundi is wonderful, the geography, the weird creatures and strange humanoids (in fact I reckon I saw some of the people I work with!). Really good displays and info boards before you get to the star of the show, its well worth the money! Though I did find one of the male attendants a bit snotty and supercilious when speaking to him. Two lovely cakes in the cafe, an orange polenta and a cherry pistachio, nice cloister garden area to have cakes

what a lovely treat. there was nobody trying to empty your wallet as you walked through the door. a beautiful ancient place with fabulous organ music being played. full of history and very friendly and welcoming. the lady who showed us the mappa mundi and the chained library was a shining star, full of love and enthusiasm.well done Hereford cathedral

Unlike many cathedrals, Hereford is free to enter and wander around. Easy to spend an hour+ taking it all in. It even has a accurate facsimile Mappa Mundi on display meaning you don't need to go to the paid exhibition if you don't wish to. While this was an unexpected bonus, surely they are undermining revenue-generation from their main draw? Top tip ... visit when there is a service on and you can first catch the choir and organ in full inspiring flow before embarking on your wander around the building.

We would strongly advise taking the guided tour as our volunteer guide had a wealth of interesting histories to reveal. The largely Norman cathedral is imposing with some lovely details but doesn't have the grandeur of other later cathedrals. It is easily accessible by mobility scooter and is set in peaceful grounds. Obviously a must it visiting Hereford (especially if you haven't seen the unique Mappa Mundi)

We visited the Cathedral whilst holidaying in Worcestershire and it was worth the 25 mile drive to see what has to be Hereford's main attraction. We were greeted by friendly staff at the door and then made our own way round the building. Although my wife uses a walker most places were accessible and I just needed to help her in a few places.

Great Cathedral, helpful staff great fair priced Cafe Coffee excellent and cheap to. Had lunch friendly helpful staff clean. Leak potato soup, must have been home made, most enjoyable. Map a Monday chained library great with helpful staff good day out in Hereford.
