Worth a visit if you’re in Hereford. This beautiful building - set over 3 floors - is an insight into how the house looked in the 1600’s. The ground floor is a shop and exhibitions whilst the first floor is a reconstruction of how it would have looked as a kitchen / living area whilst the top floor are the bedrooms. The museum is interactive so you are encouraged to try out, for example, the tiny beds. The 2 staff during our visit were both very good and informative.

What a wonderful place! Staff were very knowledgeable, and helpful, then left us alone to explore. Beautiful setting, dressed with Tudor and medieval furniture. In one bedroom, you could try out the bed, and on the first floor, you could choose to dress up and pretend to be of the period. Which I did, even though I am 70! Took me a while to climb the twisting wooden stairs, but there was no pressure. Really enjoyed my visit!

We didn't visit the black & white Museum on this visit but we did visit the Cathedral and Mappi Mundi Chained Library. The Cathedral is free (donations) but there is £6 per adult charge to see the Mappi Mundi and Library. Plenty of shops to explore, we ate in the indoor market which had a communal seating area surrounded by different food vendors. One street has a number of European supermarkets which had some interesting foods on offer and delicious looking cakes. We parked at the bus station (£8 for 6 hours). Public toilets are at the bus station but were a bit hit and miss if always open.
