Hereford - Historic Capital of the Wye Valley

Hereford is the Cathedral City with the relaxed atmosphere of a country market town. Its origins date back to Saxon times and today visitors delight in the harmony of a rich heritage and modern facilities. The magnificent Cathedral hosts Europe's oldest Music Festival, the Three Choirs Festival, every three years and the award winning Mappa Mundi Centre houses the world famous map plus the two most extensive Chained Libraries in existence.

From stone-masons to jewellery makers and galleries to retailers, the talent of local artists is evident throughout the City. The Old House is an impressive museum in the centre of Hereford and the Cider Museum's exhibits are gigantic with tastings on offer to excite the palate. Visitors will find a wide variety of shopping from the covered atrium of Maylord Shopping Centre to intimate medieval courtyards, including the delightful Church Street.

If you are meeting friends for coffee why not try the superb restaurant in All Saints Church where modern architecture perfectly compliments that of the church and exceptional dining can be found at the Left Bank restaurant where you can dine on the terrace overlooking the beautiful River Wye.

Car parking available: Long stay - Bath Street, Bus Station, Commercial Road, Merton Meadow. Short Stay - Garrick Multi Storey, Widemarsh Street, Maylords Orchard Shopping Centre, St Martins Street, Goal Street and West Street. There is limited on street parking.

With so much to do Hereford is indeed the City where culture, heritage and leisure go hand in hand.
