Hereford Cathedral

Reviewed By JenAnnie - Nottingham, United Kingdom

What a fabulous visit we had to the Cathedral We can certainly recommend it Altho due to Covid some of the Cathedral is roped off, we walked round mist of it it is beautiful & it has such a brilliant History attached to it We went thru to the Chained Library (fascinating) & the Mappa Mundy which was a superb artifact to see. So interesting to see the Medieval map where scholars only knew & depicted Europe Asia & Africa. With many unusual birds & beats. So glad we went to see it. 5 star review for the Cathedral experience.

Two extremely helpful young men were manning the desk. The exhibits were of excellent quality, and the information boards ideal. Got completely lost in time. Really good value at £3.50. Felt I had really stepped back in time in the lovely atmosphere of the House

The Black and White Village Trail

This 40-mile circular trail starts (and ends) in Leominster and passes by buildings going back to Domesday.

Reviewed By _rosaldred - Bognor Regis, United Kingdom

Enjoyed a lazy day wandering round the black and white vilages, but only managed 2, Pembridge and Eardisland. So pretty, like Midsomers murders! In Pembridge, sat in the Church green, by the bell tower, having a coffee and enjoying the view. Parked by the river, (free) just outside the village where there were many locals having a picnic and children playing in the lovely river, which was quite safe and had a pebbly beach area, as well as some deeper areas.

Church Street

Reviewed By ejjg

Such a delightful street, with a tudor school house, butcher's row shop and an Elizabethan painted room just around the corner. Wonderful church at top of street a charming mix of Tudor and Georgian. The Malthouse cafe has great coffee, interesting cakes, tasty breakfast and lunch - we go there regularly and the Prince of Wales pub has good food and drink, atmosphere,wide range of gins. Always seems to be busy, popular and welcoming.

Weobley Jubilee Heritage Trail

Come for a day, a weekend or longer. Weobley is a great place to base your visit to Herefordshire. Visit the village of Weobley and explore the easy heritage trail that will explain much about the way life was lived in earlier times. Learn about the architectural features that will take you back to when the market traders displayed their wares on boards outside the shops and served customers through the unglazed windows. See the house where King Charles I stayed on September 5th 1645, the day after his army had relieved Hereford from Cromwell’s troops. Later that year he lost it to the impressive Col. Birch, immortalised in Weobley’s Parish Church. See the small house tucked away behind the Red Lion which is all that remains of a medieval hall house and reputed to be the oldest cottage in England. You can see that the timber work is made largely of one huge oak tree cut through the middle. It is a cruck frame. It is one of two such structures in Weobley. Crucks were made by sawyers who selected an oak tree where the trunk meets a large branch and cut it in half over a saw pit with a double handed saw. The sawyer on the top of the trunk was called the ‘top dog’ and the one in the pit, getting covered in sawdust, was called the ‘underdog’; hence the terms we use today. There is plenty to capture the foodies imagination too with great places to eat in Weobley. Set your Satnav for HR4 8SN and have a great day out in this beautiful medieval village. Allow time to visit the beautiful church while here.

Monkland Cheese Dairy

Reviewed By MelFinch - Derby, United Kingdom

Staying in Ludlow for a few days, and did a walk at NT Berrington Hall in the morning. Monkdale Cheese Dairy popped up with excellent tripadvisor reviews, so as it was raining almost non-stop we decided not to go and hunt around unfamiliar Leominster and booked a table earlier in the morning for lunch. In fact we didn’t need to book, very pleasant light and airy upstairs room (and outdoor tables if sunny). Excellent ploughman’s lunches, one ham one blue cheese so we could mix and match, and good range of soft drinks. Fantastic cheeses, cakes, pickles, biscuits, etc on sale in shop, and both that and the café were quite busy on a miserable day, promptly served by friendly staff. After lunch we dived back out into the rain, well nourished!

Butcher Row House Museum

Reviewed By stevewM4116UW - Herefordshire, United Kingdom

Lived near Ledbury for many years and occasionally pop into the town for a bite to eat and beer and have always walked passed this museum. But today, did actually venture in and have a look around this and the heritage centre across the street. It is quite small and won't fill your day like a theme park. But for half an hour, it's gives a very interesting insight to the towns history. The chap in the museum was very friendly and sparked real enthusiasm with my children about the place(and one of them is 17 so takes some doing!!), which made them much more receptive to the exhibition pieces. The museum is all based on donations, so you really don't have anything to loose. Also, it's perfectly located next to the Prince of Wales pub. Ideal if you need a rest after doing all that history stuff :)

Legges of Bromyard

Reviewed By Can_Solo666 - Walsall, United Kingdom

Just moving to Bromyard, people told me to check out this fabulous food shop. They do everything I like all in one place. They have a great selection of cooked meats, chutneys, honeys, cheeses etc. Its a bit pricey in some ways, but I always say you only get what you pay for, and the quality is second to none. Lovely staff, snd you csn also get local ciders, gins and vodkas from the local Chase Distillery, well worth a visit.
