We always appreciate good architecture whenever we go away and the cathedral definitely didn't disappoint. We're not religious but there's something spiritual and sombre about the place and the history is fascinating. The level of detail throughout the building is breathtaking. Can't wait to return.

We were in Hereford on holiday and visited the cathedral. Chatted to a priest who was very helpful. The cathedral is beautiful and full of historical interest. Sadly I couldn't get downstair but family members could and said it was interesting. It was free to visit but we put some money in the donation box.

Beautiful building, well worth a visit. Nice to sit and look around and admire the pictures in the glass windows, the ceiling, plus take in the magnificent of the building. If the choir is singing that's a major plus.

I always visit this Cathedral to light a candle, Today I had the pleasure of visiting the gardens ( normally closed to the public) Today is an open day ( please check the cathedral website for further details) The gardens are stunning and maintained by a wonderful group of volunteers

Amazing place to visit. If your lucky you can also climb the tower. Which will take you out on the roof. Beautiful views

Visited Hereford Cathedral today and was pleasantly surprised by the free admission! The atmosphere was majestic and serene, perfect for soaking in the rich history of this ancient site. Highlights include the fascinating Mappa Mundi and the impressive chained library. The mix of Norman and Gothic architecture adds to the charm. Definitely worth a visit, especially on a sunny day!
