Known for
Hereford Cathedral (home of the Mappa Mundi, the world's largest surviving medieval map), the Cider Route, the Hereford breed (the world's most widely exported beef breed), and a Marches city of exceptional history and food culture
A little history
Hereford Cathedral contains the Mappa Mundi — a 13th century map of the world that is the largest surviving medieval map on vellum. The cathedral's chained library is one of the finest in the world. Herefordshire is the county of cider — more apples are grown here than anywhere in Britain — and the Hereford breed of cattle has been exported to six continents.
The Mappa Mundi is genuinely extraordinary — the medieval world view on a single piece of vellum. The chained library is outstanding. The Herefordshire Cider Route for farm visits. The Old Market for independent food.
