#hellonewyear STUNNING TREETOP CABINS - Orcop Treetops is a pair of beautifully hand-built, design-led cabins set among rolling hills, woodland and wide open skies, perfect for switching off and slowing down. Floor-to-ceiling glass brings the countryside right in, while calm Scandi interiors, cosy cinema dens and crackling fires make staying in just as tempting as heading out. Spend evenings soaking in your private wood-fired hot tub under the stars, then enjoy relaxed alfresco meals and easy walks straight from the doorstep, with a welcoming local pub close by. #Coolstays #Treehouse #Herefordshire #hottub

If you want something unique to do you can’t get better than this, head to Hereford Cathedral and see uniqueness defined. The museum contains the Mappa Mundi, chained library and a copy of the manga carta of 1217. The Mappa Mundi is a medieval map of the world etched onto a single calf skin - it’s been dated to around 1300 and shows the Christian world as they knew it. It’s an incurable time portal into that era as it shows how they viewed the world based on religion and geography. It has English versions translated along with videos about the map and staff to help explain it. It’s honestly fascinating and I didn’t even know it existed. Further inside there is an example of a chained library, the last remaining in the world and also the largest collation of chained books ever assembled. They date from 800AD and are chained into place to keep them safe and secure, a common feature in the early 17th century. At the entrance to the museum there is also a copy of the manga carta, however when I visited (August 25) it was a copy as the real one was being held offsite. Genuinely a mind blowing experience I’d recommend any one even slightly interested in history! 📍Address: Hereford Cathedral 💰Average Price per Person: £7.50 per adult #westerneurope #hereford #culture #architecture #travel #history #england #museums #thingstodo #citydaytours #myitinerary

Hereford cathedral is something you have to see to believe, it’s one of the most beautifully preserved buildings I have ever seen and I was overwhelmed by the detailing. As with all cathedrals the sheer scale of the building is really hard to comprehend, but for me it was the level of restoration and preservation that really impressed me. The main hall and atrium have Incredible stone work from floor to ceiling and the symmetry across the sides is amazing. The high roof allows some of the biggest stained glass windows I’ve ever seen with the most vivid colours - you really need to get close to see how much detailing and story telling there is within the windows. There are smaller rooms and alcoves dotted around the cathedral each with tombs and tributes to various historical figures. To the rear there is also a submerged tomb you can access and a side garden with a small cafe and gift shop. As with all religious buildings it’s free entry but they do encourage donations. I would highly recommend a visit and donate if you feel comfortable to help continue the preservation of this stunning building. #westerneurope #thingstodo #family #travel #museums #history #england #hereford #cathedral #architecture #culture

I recently spent the day in Hereford and was really impressed by the charm and character this historical town has, it’s something you should add to your list if you’re in the area. The city has a beautiful pedestrianised center that links all of the historical sites, along with the more modern amenities you need for a day trip. The highlights are some stunning Tudor buildings with their iconic black and white panelling, original leaded glass windows and quirky tilts. A lot of them have been repurposed into modern shops but have kept a lot of their historical charm. The butter market offers a glimpse into a world gone by where supermarkets didn’t exist, you can get eggs, meet and cheese along with various household supplies - and the prices aren’t as steep as you’d think! Also the cathedral is an absolute must do, it’s free entry into the main building with incredible stain glass windows, ancient tombs and gardens. There’s a supplement for the museum but it’s well worth the cost! Overall a really interesting day out, with something for everyone in the family! It’s also on main rail routes to Manchester, Cardiff, London and Bristol so very easy to get to! #westerneurope #hereford #england #history #cathedral #travel #thingstodo #family

📍Address: The Beefy Boys, Old Market, Hereford 💰Average Price per Person: £25/pp (a burger + side + drinks) 💞Reasons to Recommend: Amazing burger and fries! Even though they’re slightly overpriced, it’s worth paying a visit! They do include 8% discretionary service charge on the bill but you could opt out if you’d like.

A beautiful charming city - Hereford There’s so much to do here from just having a peaceful stroll to cafe hopping! #travel #uk #Hereford #city

Hay Bluff is one of my favourite viewpoints in the Brecon Beacons. The hike up is quite challenging. I would say a moderate level hike. If you love the great outdoors and being surrounded by unspoiled nature then you can do no better than the Brecon beacons. If you’re travelling to Wales in 2025 make sure you give this hike a try, you won’t regret it! #getgoing2025 #mountainhike #breconbeacons #wales

Beautiful Abbey just outside Hereford UK. Friendly monks, amazing grounds & a great chapel.

You HAVE to visit this beautiful city. Such history. Such culture. So much to explore. Travelled up by train stopping off at Birmingham but many other routes to get there from London. Personally loved the cathedral and the river. Was really lucky with the weather. Some lovely shops as well, lots of chain but also lots of independents. Make sure you check the city out and travel out of the centre to see the incredible countryside too!
