The thriving City of Hereford is situated on the banks of the beautiful River Wye, surrounded by unspoilt countryside and is a great place to explore and enjoy whatever the time of year. Attractive alleyways and ancient courtyards surround the famous cathedral which stands on the banks of the River Wye. Close by in the cathedral library, you'll find two of Britain's most important treasures, the Medieval Mappa Mundi and the Chained Library.
