In the centre of Hereford you’ll find the Old House, a great Tudor-period edifice constructed from oak beams and still in remarkably good condition after centuries of continual use.

Fine Wining and Dining in Hereford

Hereford is famous for its high quality food, which has always played an important role in the city’s identity and is the core of many local businesses. The soil around the city is rich and fertile and the climate of the region benign, so cider, hops, sheep and cattle are its main produce. Vineyards are also beginning to make an appearance.

Hereford has become not only a gourmet’s paradise, but has one of the loveliest landscapes in the UK, all practically on the doorstep of your hotel or B&B.
