Off the beaten track, under the radar, a hidden gem... call it what you will, the chances are you haven’t yet stumbled upon Herefordshire.

Tucked against the Welsh border, hugged by the Malvern Hills and the Brecon Beacons, Herefordshire is closer than you think. But our wild landscapes, dramatic history, charming market towns and fabulous local food will make you feel a world away.

We have green space by the (country) mile, along with views that would make any heart soar. Roam our rolling hills, apple orchards and atmospheric woodlands. Perhaps you’ll meet the wild ponies or find a remote castle ruin with many a story to tell. Meander by bike through our picture-perfect ‘black-and-white villages’ or tour the county’s cider and perry producers. The River Wye is spectacular at any time of year, and is extra-special when steering a canoe or stand-up paddle-board.

Hereford Cathedral

This beautiful building is the home of a community which has worshipped and worked together here continuously for well over 1,300 years.

It is a place where the mission of the Church to proclaim Christ’s love is central, and therefore the community has always warmly welcomed visitors.

Berrington Hall

Created as the perfect house in the perfect setting, Berrington has many secrets to uncover. Here in one of Henry Holland’s first houses, you can explore the family rooms and walk in the servants’ footsteps down the back stairs, moving around the house unseen by the family and guests.

You will find out what happened to William Kemp, LordCawley’s butler, and discover the anguish of a grieving mother during the First World War.

Alternatively why not join a below-stairs tour to see if you would have liked being a servant at Berrington?

St. Francis Xaviers Church

The site of the present building in Broad Street was originally occupied by a house and gardens and under the jurisdiction of the Jesuit Order, the upper rooms of the house were converted for use as a chapel and services were conducted there for many years.

In 1829, following the enactment of the Catholic Emancipation Bill, many new churches were built including a “Jesuit Temple” in Broad Street, designed according to classical Greek traditions.

The foundation stone was laid at 12 noon on Tuesday 19th September 1837 and Queen Victoria sent her personal representative and the building was opened on Wednesday and Thursday 7th and 8th August 1839.
