Why we love Hereford

Our restaurant in Hereford is perfectly placed to experience the best of the local area. For culture vultures in search of art galleries and chic shops in the city, the cobbled streets of the Independent Quarter are a must-see spot. With the largest surviving medieval map made 800 years ago, and the biggest chained library in the world, Hereford Cathedral is an incredible location for history fans. Outdoor beauty is truly dialled up to 11 in and around the city too. From riverbank rambles to woodland wanders, get lost in nature on popular walking routes around Hereford. Spring is particularly scenic, with bluebells carpeting the woodland and explosions of botanical bloom all around. How about a river adventure? A 30-minute drive away, you can embrace the wild landscapes with a hired canoe – at your own pace – along the winding River Wye.

However you plan your day out in Hereford, you’re sure to fall in love with its charm.

Frequently asked questions
