Hereford is a relatively small city, but there are still a variety of different places to visit within it. One of the highlights is Hereford Cathedral, which is a great spot for fans of medieval architecture, first built in the 7th century and then reconstructed from 1079 until the middle of the 12th century.
Another iconic piece of architecture is the Black and White House, a Jacobean timber-framed building that has been converted into a museum. Those who prefer culture over history can visit The Courtyard theatre, which has a great program of touring arts performances that include theatre, music and dance.
If you want to travel further afield, the nearby National Trust property Berrington Hall, which is a Georgian mansion with lots to discover both inside and outside.
Hereford is a city with plenty of different museums, so no matter what the weather is doing you’ll have a great selection of different things to do. Choose from the Mappa Mundi and Chained Library Exhibitions, the Waterworks Museum and the Herford Museum and Art Gallery.
For fans of a tipple, the Museum of Cider in Hereford lets you both sample the drink and learn about its history. A tour at the Chase Distillery is another popular thing to do, where you can see this local producer of vodka and gin in action and get to take home some of their award-winning spirits.
If you’re looking for outdoor activities, the Herefordshire Trail nearby offers an easy route for families that links five nearby towns with over 150 miles of path. You don’t have to follow the whole trail, but it’s a great way to spend a day when the weather is good.
The best time to visit Hereford is definitely in the summer months when the weather will be at its warmest and there isn’t much chance of rain. There will also be more happening in the city over the weeks of the school summer holiday, so if you’re looking to experience all that Hereford has to offer, July and August are your best bet.
