A warm welcome to a warm cathedral with free entry which is a big plus these days. Dogs welcome too. We enjoyed our stay and contributed well in excess of the modest £5 suggestion. The linked Mappa Mundi and chain library exhibition is a must visit and is subject to a separate charge. There is a small café too and outside seating in warmer weather. Highly recommend place to visit.

We were recommended this by a friend to visit as a must see attraction in Hereford. The Cathedral alone is an amazing experience to discover all the historical information and architecture. The Mapps Mundi and Chained Library is a unique experience with excellent staff who happily explain all aspects of these unique artifacts. The Cathedral is free to enter but you have to pay a reasonable fee for the Mappa Mundi and Chained Library. There is also a cafe and toilets if needed and the whole area is ideal for those that have mobility issues or are wheelchair users.

Free to enter cathedral. A wonder of craftsmanship and design. A place of worship that's existed according to CoE for over 1300 years. The Cathedral has been there since 1300. There is an exhibition there on maps and books from over 700 years ago, it's a paid for ticket entrance but worth it. Nice gardens and cafe.

We went to see the chained library and the magna Carta Very interesting. Great Cathedral and of course has the SAS window. Very interesting vist and quite a nice cafe.

A wonderful cathedral with a great deal to see. Seeing the Mappa Mundi and chained library is not cheap at £7 per adult but was highly worthwhile. The Mappa Mundi is much more impressive and fascinating than I expected from reproductions.

Went mainly to see the Mappa Mundi and the chained library. Volunteers freely offered interesting information on the exhibitions and there's the usual nice coffee and gift shops. Friendly people working and volunteering here, as you'd expect. A pleasant way to spend some time in a pleasant town.

Great place to visit. 'City Praise' is a great event to go to. Every so often, almost once a month, possibly two, the various church congregations in Hereford gather at the Cathedral to worship together.

A beautiful National Trust mansion house well worth visiting. The volunteers and staff are friendly and well informed very willing to explain things to you as you walk around the amazing rooms. We were lucky that a Kite festival was taking place on the weekend we visited. We walked down and around the lake and were able to enjoy seeing many kites being flown along the way. Berrington Hall also has a cafe but we didn’t use this on the day. Highly recommend visiting

Berrington Hall is a pleasant National Trust property with some lovely features to explore. The Georgian architecture is well preserved, and the house has an interesting history that comes through in the displays and rooms. The grounds are peaceful for a walk, and the walled garden is enjoyable, especially in the warmer months. While not the grandest of the Trust properties, it makes for a nice day out if you’re in the area. Facilities such as the café and shop are handy, and staff were polite and helpful. Overall, a satisfactory visit worth stopping by if you’re nearby. They now have the paddling boats for hire which is a new nice feature.

The beautiful house with a stunning viewpoint from most of the windows in the house. Gardens to get lost in or take a picnic under the apple trees in the orchard. A walk around the lake will take an hour. But so worth it. Look out for the potting shed, the creamery, that staircase behind the scenes that was used by staff. Then the glass done over the main stairs. Fabulous place

A most delightful day spent here. Fascinating house, well kept and warm. Friendly informative staff. Nice to walk around the gardens and especially the lake. Suggest you call in the cafe.

A lovely house with a delightful walk around the lake and wonderful kitchen gardens. We enjoyed the dressing up rooms and knowledgeable volunteers. The amazing Berrington dress was so interesting to see. We also had fun watching the house martins zooming in & out of their nests. We gad a great day out!

Big house with large grounds. You could spend all day here. You can go into alot of rooms in the house. The best room was the restoration room which had two wonderful people in it explaining what they were doing and why they were doing it, great knowledge. The grounds were great with long walks.

This was a lovely place with an abundance of trees and parklands, a good variety of apple strees in the orchard and a promising walled garden that is being renovated. The cafe was great and the food excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful too.

We visited 1pm and found the map enlightening and bigger than expected. It was a shame we couldn't hear the audio describing it 🙁 due someone talking to loudly.. The persons voice just echoed everywhere!! We ended up asking said person to try and lower his voice.. To little avail.. I think a gently reminder at reception asking the public to keep noise to a minimum, might atleast help.

Incredibly well preserved medieval map of the world! Includes a 3D copy and English translated version. Volunteer staff were incredibly knowledgeable and really enhanced the experience. So very rare, you should absolutely make it part of your visit to the Cathedral. Ticket price per adult was £7.50 at the time of visiting but also included entry to the chained library, another unique exhibit! Lovely coffee shop on site with pretty outdoor seating on dry days. WC's are also available.

The Hereford Mappa Mundi is a large medieval world map, created around 1300. It's a unique example of how people in the 13th century understood the world, blending geographical knowledge with religious beliefs and mythical narratives. The map is drawn on a single sheet of vellum and is notable for its central location of Jerusalem, the depiction of biblical events, and inclusion of classical myths and fantastical creatures. Fascinating.

Got absolutely absorbed in the Mappa Mundi. A great insight into the religious thinking of it's day. A helpful volunteer helped to illuminate our experience. The chained library was interesting as well, but of course you cannot removed the books 📚 🔒. Recommended. £7.50 entry fee but we must have stayed for nearly 2 hours.

Absolute amazing exhibition! Although quite small, there is plenty to explore and well explained. As a student of medieval language and literature, it's been so exciting to see all the artefacts displayed there - and, of course, especially the beautiful Mappa Mundi. Special thanks go to the staff members there. You all brightened up the exhibition so much, with your kindness, your knowledge, and passion! I really had a great time there: 100% recommended!

Really interesting exhibition and lots of well thought out presentation pieces to bring it to life. Great volunteers too

Just experienced the wonder of Hereford Cathedral's Mappa Mundi, and it's simply awe-inspiring! This medieval map of the world is not just a piece of history but a window into the past. The intricate details and the stories behind each illustration truly bring history to life. It's amazing to think about the minds that created it centuries ago. A visit to Hereford Cathedral wouldn't be complete without marveling at this incredible piece of cartographic history!

A great historical museum telling the story of Cider making and the history of Bulmers Cider.

A pleasant museum, the best bit of which is the cellars housing the old machinery and bottling plant. There's also a good selection of cider in the shop (free tasting was offered and accepted) and a cafe run serving tea and cakes which is run by the helpful staff.

It was very interesting all the workers were nice there were lots to look at but overall it was fun.

Cider is the go to drink for me, turns out a museum about cider is really quiet good as well. Interesting place to spend some time for sure, bit of a bargain as well. We had two or three tasters in there and as a result we bought a couple of bottles of each. The price of those ciders were also a bargain.

Fascinating. Had a very interesting time looking around the museum. The cider tasting was an added bonus. A slice of social history.

I spotted this on a map as I was looking for ideas for a day out with my adult son. It's a couple of hours on the train and absolutely worth the time it took to get there. We spent just over an hour at the museum. The people there are so friendly. The museum itself has a lot to offer, including some history of cider making and of the Bulmer family. We very much enjoyed our time there. There is also a shop at the entrance/exit where you can sample some ciders and purchase from the wide selection on offer. There are toilets (including disabled) and a cafe (we had a lovely cup of tea - pot of tea for 2 was £4). Accessibility isn't the best as there are stairs and some narrow spaces. However, there are concession prices that take into account if visitors are unable to fully enjoy all parts of the museum.

Great place to visit. Lots of interesting information about cider making in Herefordshire and beyond

Sadly we were in and out of this historical house in a flash. Wasn’t much to it I’m afraid and I love history but didn’t appeal to me on the day we visited. Maybe a short video on a tv screen or something else to keep us in there longer. I noticed a member of staff was talking to other visitors and explaining about some of the replica items I guess we missed out in that respect.

The Old House, also known as the Black and White House Museum, is a remarkably preserved 17th-century timber-framed building. Built in 1621 as part of Butcher's Row, it served as a butcher's shop and residence, and later as a saddler's, fishmonger's, and hardware shop before being converted into a bank. It was donated to the city in 1927 and restored as a museum in 1929, offering a glimpse into Jacobean life. £4 (£3.50 blue light) entry, we really enjoyed it, thought it was great, killed a good half hour, the bottom part of the museum is FREE, you only pay the fee to go upstairs, so those who said they were in and out in a flash, couldn't have paid the fee, it takes longer to get up the narrow stairs, Great bit of history.

Family Party time for an 18 year old, so what's better than cake and coffee in a beautiful coffee house. The staff were amazing and so accommodating because one of the people couldn't get upstairs, moved tables together outside and served us outside.

We got there just a few minutes before closing and were allowed to go in and see what we could. We found a wonderful little museum showing life as it would have been back in the 1600s, if I remember correctly. The fireplace on the first floor is beautiful. I wish we had more time, but I'm glad we got to see some of the exhibits.

Well conserved areas. When we went, the master bedroom was closed off due to repairs. Everywhere else was accessible and was a fascinating step back in time. Helpful and friendly staff.

A museum of the history of Hereford and especially of the people who called this building home. A wonderful seventeenth century timber clad house with 3 storeys and a central staircase. Not just a museum to look at the exhibits, but also to try clothes of the Jacobean period and try out the beds and chairs. It is the last building still standing out of a whole row. The custodian of the museum was a chatty, friendly fellow. Small entrance fee of £3.50 for each adult is fair, and you can stay and peruse as long as you like, also has a small gift shop. Well worth a visit.

Interesting displays of an era when the house was alive and functioning with its occupants. We got free admission as students. There are free postcards too. And of course the stairs and floors are squeaky due to old age of the house.

The garden covers 10 acres, and was the creation of its prior owner, Roger Parr, and his head gardener, William Boulter. The adjoining house is used as a nursing home and is not open to the public. Great if you're a National Trust member, but to be honest, we don't think you would be too happy paying £8.50 for entry. Dogs are welcome. The ruins of a Roman temple possibly associated with a high-status Roman villa, which may have connections to the nearby Roman town of Magnis, lie inside the Weir Garden by the River Wye 😊, it was a nice morning walk through the garden though, a nice walled Garden as well. Parking is right by the entrance.

Nice little wander to have, not huge but beautiful and you can buy some local produce. Lovely that they have tried to incorporate things for the kids to so. Our dog loved joining us on our adventure

An absolutely stunning place. This is one for all, including a dog! There is a respectable playground for young ones to enjoy alongside a trail of factual and fun information. The walk itself is beautiful, a lovely place to have lunch and admire the views. There is a walled garden that allows you to take some fruit and veg via a donation. There is a steady amount of car park space, and the worker at the kiosk was informative and friendly. There is also a selection of books that are available to purchase for a cheap amount!

Lovely dog walk on a hot day, wandered amongst large trees along the riverside. Sat on deckchairs overlooking the Wye river and had a picnic. Very relaxing

Very tranquil place, right alongside the river. Stunning views across Herefordshire. Beautiful garden that frlt very natural. I took my elderly parents and there were a few paths that were difficult for them due to tree roots and not being wide enough or level. Didn't have the time to do the walled garden, we're saving it for the next visit.

Great places lovely views the only bad things are signs are hard to see and nowhere to get a drink or snacks but they do have toilets

Another lovely couple of hours here. Just a note to get down and back up to the riverside if you go down the steps is very steep. And don't forget to visit the walled garden before you leave. There are toiler facilities but no cafe incase you hoped for one.

Fantastic lunch spot, delicious ploughman's and local apple juice. Helpful and attentive staff, thanks for such a lovely afternoon

This place is well worth a visit...plenty of seating in the rustic barn style upper room. Although it's not table service the food is good, best cheese scone I've had in a long while. Staff are friendly and welcoming and food is delivered to the table after ordering. The cheese selection is great if your looking for something to take home and you can try the selection before buying. Revisited again recently and found same as always, excellent ploughman's and good service Road closure due to works on A44 seems to have affected business, but they are open as usual. Make the effort, well worth it.

Had a wonderful lunch here today. The soup was amazing and my husband enjoyed a cheese platter, which was made gluten free with no hassle at all. Looking forward to trying the local cider we bought in the shop later. Decore is charming too. Will definitely go to again when next in the area. Thank you for the warm welcome!

A coincident find of a gem in our travels. Can buy vegetarian cheese here. Delicious hot chocolate. Clean toilets, too

A very enjoyable tour and talk about cheesemaking. Made even better with a lovely cafe for lunch, where you can Sample the cheese!

I've missed the opening times, or just missed the turning way too many times! Finally got my act together and O. M. G! The cheeses are out of this world! Now it's programmed into the sat-nav, no excuses, I'll be back! 👌💖

Went back to the Monkland Cheesemaking Café & Farm Shop. We had ad a magnificent Blue Cheese Ploughman’s and a fantastic Ham & Chutney roll. Bought more cheese than is healthy and washed it all down with 2 amazing Cappuccinos. The staff were super helpful and know their cheeses and are happy to let you sample. It really is a destination shop… give it a look.

Plenty to do and plenty to see nice cafe area with plenty of space

We had such a fun day out, we went on a Sunday "steam day" with a toddler. Lots to look at, a play area for the children. You can see how much the volunteers and staff put into this location, so hats off to them and their specialist knowledge. Everyone was so friendly. Would perhaps suggest taking a picnic as there weren't many options at the café. Definitely worth a visit.

This is an excellent volunteer run museum which is a "must see" for anybody who likes engineering, vintage equipment, and big mechanical installations. Very informative, housed in the old pumping station. Cafe on site if you get thirsty. It has limited opening days so check their website.

A gem of a place to visit! The volunteers are all very informative and the brochure given on entry explains all to be seen well. Ideal for all generations.

What’s not to like. 200 years or so of water pumping. The cafe is average, the car parking so so, but go for the engines and the volunteers!

Great little museum with lots of working engines and explanations. Still plenty of buttons to push and pumps to work for the kids. Also the water park was fun for little one.

Fantastic day out with a 6 & 4 yr old! Staff were all lovely, no charge for children under 16 and only £5 per adult for all day entry. Really good mixture of things to look at and also things to press/pull/pump for the little (and big) ones. Really lovely setup and I'm pleased that we were able to support them. Cafe was excellent, very reasonably priced and the food was superb and all freshly made. We will happily visit again!

Fantastic theatre! Comfortable seats, Fantastic service from bar and food. Exceptional service from other staff..intending to come here often!

We went to see our grandson dance in Moving Target 2025 and his school, along with around 18 others from across the region, were absolutely fantastic. The Courtyard is a lovely place to hold it, bright, clean and comfy seats and the staff are all, without exception, kind and helpful. We will certainly be back and would recommend it anyone who has yet to go.

I very much enjoy watching movies at The Courtyard, it's a very relaxed cinema that offers good value for money and they screen a very diverse range of movies. As a lover of horror, science fiction and cult films I find myself coming here quite often.

We enjoyed the coffee, caker and film, thank you. What we did not enjoy was having to sit through 25 minutes of advertising before the film began. It was scheduled to beging at 11 00 and actually began just before 11 30. We stopped going to the Odeon etc. because of all the rubbish we had to sit through prior to the start of a film, we hope this is not going to become the same at the Courtyard???

Went to see the rocket man (Elton John tribute) Haven't been for a while and first time I've eaten at the court yard, extremely basic menu with little choice BUT well executed, with not excessive over inflated prices. The bar and waiting staff were attentive and polite. The table layout were close BUT well enough spaced without feeling like you were over hearing the next table. Toilets were clean and well maintained but quite snall for the anout of people using them meaning queuing for cubicles and must be very problematic when there is main box office preferences as well as other stages and the restaurant all being used at the same time. BUT even after pointing out the problems had a very enjoyable evening and will be back

A very nice place, lots to do here, shows, cinema etc. Good parking also. Have just seen The Moonlight Serenade Orchestra who were fantastic. There's always shows or films on which I've always enjoyed. There are stewards around to help you if needed which is especially important during busy times as it can be hectic in the foyer/bar area. I've been again tonight and saw the music of Carole King live on stage with a signing/dancing cast of 8. Again a good show and a good visit though couldn't park in the Courtyard car park, rare that it happens so not a problem as there's a multistorey CP across the road. The Courtyard is currently in the Borderlines film festival season (March) with multiple films on throughout the day. It is very well run with help on hand for those who may need it. All the facilities are open each day as well. SUPERB!

Every time I go to the Courtyard I have a good experience. Friendly staff, good cafe, excellent entertainment. Highly recommended!

Lovely garden, delicious scone and jam. The sausage roll was very cold so I asked to warm it up and the staff was attentive but it took a while.

Nice little gardens to look around. Very pretty. Maybe a little overpriced compared to bigger places. Food was fairly standard, sandwiches and jacket potatoes etc, quite a long wait for them though as it was busy. My 2 year old liked exploring, but I wouldn't bring my older kid as he'd be bored.

So beautiful! We had a lovely walk thru the mayor's many gardens & rested on some of the benches scattered along the path. The gardens were in an array of breath-taking scenes. It is a delightful place where one can relax & enjoy creation!

Beautiful gardens, stunning views, lovely flowers as well as amazing trees. Wonderful cafe with friendly staff. A first class experience and we wished we lived nearer to visit again.

Staff were lovely and really helpful. The grounds are gorgeous and all wheelchair friendly. A lovely place.

Varied gardens with plenty to see, but not too big an area to explore in a morning or afternoon. Very good cafe with indoor and outdoor seating...friendly, helpful staff who have time for a quick chat if wanted. Very reasonable entrance charge to the gardens. Highly recommended.

We recently visited the gardens at Brobury House and it was a really lovely couple of hours spent in beautiful surroundings. There's a free car park and the paths around the garden are mostly gravel so suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs. There are a few very narrow paths around the ponds. Really nice café with a good selection of food and drinks. Inside and outside seating. Cleanest toilets I've used in some time. The sconces and sausage rolls are delicious. Very pleasant staff. I was really impressed with the beautiful variety of flowers and trees. Definitely worth a visit. Can't comment on the house as it didn't appear to be open on the day we visited.

Very informative place , learned a lot that I didnt know about Hereford. Easy access. Plenty of parking available for a small fee.

The small, free museum is housed in one large room and tries to cover the time from the formation of the first rocks to the present day with special reference to the Hereford area. There are a few interesting exhibits but generally the displays lack depth. Allow about 20 minutes to visit.

Nice little museum. Hereford history was very interesting. Loved the tiles and Roman sections

Interesting collection of various artefacts from the local area. I was recommended this by a friend for the stuffed sturgeon and two headed half. I was certainly not disappointed in that respect. The museum is a way a collection of different types of museum all thrown together by their shared link to Hereford and its environs. The seemingly disparate collection does kind of 'work', but perhaps more thought needs to be made into creating a narrative that more easily be followed. Just a bit of money and a revamp is all it would take to make this an excellent little museum!

The Museum and Art Gallery is within the library building. It offers variety of events to showcase many things related to this county particularly. The library also keeps their books updated all the time. We enjoy visiting the library not only to borrow books, but also to attend many events, particularly for our little ones. Highly recommended to visit on regular basis. It also has computer, printing and photocopying services. Best to check their Facebook page to get up to date events.

Some good exhibits, particularly a beehive in which you could see and hear the bees. It was totally fascinating. Only had half an hour there as they shut quite early, but seemed pretty small anyway. Not sure if we missed some though. Had to climb up some stairs.

We visited on a rainy day and spent about an hour here with our 2 children. Its on one of the upper floors of the building. There are little activites dotted around the room the room that kept them engaged. Aimed at providing a historic account of Hereford with local finds. Free entry, with toilets onsite.

Great course view all the way round great 4th for the team can't wait to go again with Ben Lund racing club

Lovely little racecourse with a decent standard of racing. We booked a table in Snaffles Restaurant and the food and service was very good, with a nice viewing terrace to watch the racing. Our 57th of the 60 UK racecourses

A wonderful horse racing track. Very big but can see most way round. Helpful staff. There's a main restaurant but you do have to book well in advance. Otherwise there are buyer vans and a cafe selling pies etc.

Great racecourse Walked from Hereford Town centre about 25 minutes Speedy entry Couple of bars to get drinks Food outlets On course bookies and a William Hills Great views of racing Had a great day out

So glad Hereford Racecourse went ahead with this event (the 90s show on the Saturday was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances = poor ticket sales). Clearly the organisers of this Country event had similar worries. We paid £21.45 for the tickets when they were first released only to see the event struggling to sell and resorting to selling them for a limited time for £5 (the limited time being the last two months leading up to the event). Anyway we rocked and duly had our bags and chairs searched just in case we brought in any alcohol which would have helped us to avoid the £7 charge for a single can of cider (which is also available for £1.23p a can from ASDA). Throw in the £4:50 charge for an ice cream and £13 for a wrap you can see why these events are slowly but surely fading away. As for the acts... We had a fun time and enjoyed the performances and it would have been nice to see a full band on stage but I guess that's where money was saved. Would we go again? Yes but we'll wait for the "limited time" tickets and hope a full band is on the next show.

What a great racecourse, viewing is excellent so bring your binoculars as you can follow your horse all the way round. Nice friendly atmosphere the only thing that let it down was the lack of catering but understandable given the crowd size. Staff were very helpful

Great day at the races worth a day out

I had to look up about this, hadn't seen it before, such an amazing statue, Found this, One of Hereford's most modern public sculptures is a life-sized statue of a Hereford bull. The statue was a gift to the city from Clive Richards and was designed by the architect Brian Alabaster. The statue is a precise replica of a Hereford bull, with every feature measured to an exacting standard. Like I said amazing.

As someone that grew up on an American farm, it was great to see such a unique part of history from Hereford. The Hereford cow is a unique and easily recognizable farm animal that deserves its recognition of origination from Hereford's farmers and their hard work and life.

The Bull Statue in Hereford stands as a proud symbol of the city's heritage and a beloved landmark that holds a special place in the hearts of locals and visitors alike. This magnificent sculpture, situated in the heart of Hereford, captures the essence of the city's rich history and agricultural roots.

Crafted with meticulous detail, the sculpture embodies the strength, power, and elegance of these magnificent animals. It serves as a testament to the important role they have played in shaping the region's economy and identity. As a focal point of the city, the Bull Statue has become a popular meeting spot and a point of reference for locals and tourists alike. Its towering presence and commanding stance create a sense of awe and admiration. Whether it's a casual gathering or a significant event, the statue's prominence provides a sense of unity and serves as a backdrop for shared experiences. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Bull Statue also serves as a symbol of community pride and resilience. It stands as a reminder of the hardworking farmers and their contributions to the local economy. The statue acts as a beacon, drawing people together and fostering a sense of belonging and identity. The Bull Statue's central location adds to its significance. It is surrounded by bustling streets, charming shops, and vibrant cafes, creating a vibrant atmosphere. The statue has become an integral part of Hereford's urban landscape, seamlessly blending history with contemporary life. Visitors to Hereford are often drawn to the Bull Statue, eager to capture photos, learn about the breed, and marvel at its grandeur. It has become a must-see attraction, symbolizing the city's heritage and serving as a memorable landmark for tourists exploring the area. In conclusion, the Bull Statue in Hereford stands as a powerful symbol of the city's agricultural heritage and community spirit. Its striking presence and historical significance make it a cherished landmark that resonates with locals and captivates visitors. Whether it's appreciating the intricate craftsmanship, understanding the breed's importance, or simply enjoying its commanding presence, the Bull Statue represents the essence of Hereford's identity and invites all to celebrate its rich heritage.

Hereford is a lovely place to visit people are relaxed and pleasant.Loads of beautiful and interesting buildings ,shops .Very dog friendly. Well done Hereford.

En route to the best bit of Hereford!

Beautiful statue

As statues of male bovines go this is absolutely one of those.

Had the pleasure of staying in this magnificent stately house as part of my sisters 40th birthday celebrations with 19 of us! We felt like royalty staying in huge bedrooms, some with original 4 poster beds. There is a fully equipment kitchen with a well stocked pantry which we could use but didn't need to. The fire pit was lovely to use in the warm summer evenings. The billiards room was used by the younger members of our family. Oh the gorgeous grounds with deers were simply unforgettable

Fantastic gardens tucked away in rural Herefordshire - the house has ancestral ties with the Scudamore family. Visited in the summer where lots of flowers were in bloom - there must have been thousands of pollinators around too! Exceptionally managed and well kept. Great for walks, gardening inspiration or photographers.

A quite wonderful garden with so many nooks and crannies to explore. Delicious homemade cake!

Have been before and we both enjoyed our Unfortunately todsy was a bit disappointed took2 Australian visitors And after telling them about the amazing cakes and lovely loos and plant sales non were avaliable today 😔

Tired, run down, still worth a visit. I imagine a summer visit is better?

Nice gardens to spend an hour.

To get here you will follow single track lanes for last 20 mins of your drive. I have been here today and I was the only visitor. The only person there was I think the gardener. 5 pounds entry you drop in to honesty box. Toilets on the site. Nice walk around the gardens. Then go behind the House to get to riverside Garden.

Gardens need some attention. Tea room was OK, had a scone that was so dry I could not eat it. Lovely view over the pond and the many fish.

A great little trip out. Lots to see in the shop including pond supplies and an array of tropical and cold water fish. We love looking at all the different species and have purchased many for here. The staff are always so knowledgeable. The garden makes for a great addition, lovely to walk around and perfect for little legs!

A lovely place to visit. The gardens are a joy to walk around. My grandchildren enjoyed feeding the fish. We were a party of 9 in the restaurant for lunch. 7 of us had the carvery and my daughter went to the counter to order 2 vegetarian meals from the menu for her husband and son and (unknown to me) she paid for these and her family's drinks. The carvery was lovely. We were able to go back as many times as we wanted for more, which we didn't do as the portions served to us were large. We also had cakes for dessert, which were delicious and huge. At the end of the meal, I approached the counter to pay for everything. The staff had no idea what we had, I went through everything we'd had and paid for the whole table. A few days later, my daughter mentioned that she had paid for her meals and drinks, so we had paid twice for 2 meals and 4 drinks. Staff need to put in place some way to record what has been served to a table and how many carvery meals have been collected on that table. We had superb food and a lovely afternoon walking around the gardens and I would not hesitate to return. I would have given 5 stars had the payment details been better organised.

5* for the cafe and sweet treats absolutely lovely enjoyable food. 1* for the aquatic store, came here a couple of years ago and it was brilliant but has drastically gone downhill. The fish are sickly and thin looking with extortionate prices £7 for an endler guppy and £90 for very thin bad quality discus absolutely ridiculous. They have a Pacu of which I overheard is 30 years old and has been living in a 6ft tank all its life how sad! That fish deserves more, it deserves a massive aquarium that actually meets the welfare needs for the fish. Disgraceful to think the shop owners won’t let him go to an incredible spacious aquarium but instead keep it in such a small tank in relation to its size just for public viewing, can also tell the fish has succumb to boredom as it slowly floats slowly swimming up and down the tank just completely unfair. And to add when looking around the fish, one of the store staff older gentleman was very touchy in an overly friendly manner which was unacceptable and very uncomfortable. Unfortunately don’t think I’ll be returning again.

Have spent a lot of money here over the years. I know the pond plants & kit are expensive compared to elsewhere, including online, but the quality has generally been good, with only 2 issues previously: a water lily that was supposed to be white but was actually pink, & another potted water lily that looked fine but was infested with some sort of weed. I tried removing it but ended up having to chuck the whole lily - while the weed is spreading through the pond! I didn't complain about either of these things because of the goodwill I felt towards the business. However, on a recent trip I bought a lot of gravel & aquatic compost, helped by a member of staff with regards to how much I'd need. It turned out I had 3 untouched bags of aquatic compost & 2 of gravel leftover after I'd completed the repotting. I phoned to ask if I could return these, 99% sure that I'd be able to. But no, I can't take them back. Not even a credit note was offered. We're not talking a lot of money here, but now I'm left with 5 bags of stuff I have no use for, plus a very nasty taste in my mouth that they wouldn't take the bags back. If you charge high prices, customer service should be exemplary. It feels mean spirited of them not to accept the bags back. Will think hard before returning.

The Gardens have stayed good over the years and didn't disappoint us. We had a snack in the cafe which was most enjoyable. We sat outside with our dog - which was made welcome - and watched the fountains. Will definitely call again when in the area and recommend it to others.

Great selection of tropical and some fresh-water fish. Good place to come for fish related products including tanks, etc. The food was good, a decent selection and great brownies (and huge). Good value for money food wise. Gardens were a little unkempt but enjoyable for a walk-around. Dog friendly.

Nice looking Church from the outside. Unfortunately, we couldn't go inside as the front gates are closed and secured with what looks like a solid frame bike lock. Churches should remain open for the public to view. Very sad times we live in when they're forced to close, presumably because of government decrees.

Frank Collins a fantastic man was once a preist here.

A beautiful welcoming church. The recent refurbishment has opened up the building and made it a flexible space for all forms of worship, drama and music.

If you are looking for a friendly, happy and caring Church where ordinary people love and believe in God, this is a great place to go

When for a concert Hereford Symphony orchestra and the inside was nicer than expected.

This is my place of worship.

Very friendly folk, church nicely redone inside.
