Great couple of hours, friendly staff and very reasonable price. Kids has a fantastic time and staff helped first time roller-bladers by showing them the ropes.

6. Berrington Hall
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 940 reviews
Created as the perfect house in the perfect setting, Berrington has many secrets to uncover. Here in one of Henry Holland’s first houses, you can explore the family rooms and walk in the servants’ footsteps down the back stairs, moving around the house unseen by the family and guests. You will find out what happened to William Kemp, LordCawley’s butler, and discover the anguish of a grieving mother during the First World War. Alternatively why not join a below-stairs tour to see if you would have liked being a servant at Berrington?

What a fabulous visit we had to the Cathedral We can certainly recommend it Altho due to Covid some of the Cathedral is roped off, we walked round mist of it it is beautiful & it has such a brilliant History attached to it We went thru to the Chained Library (fascinating) & the Mappa Mundy which was a superb artifact to see. So interesting to see the Medieval map where scholars only knew & depicted Europe Asia & Africa. With many unusual birds & beats. So glad we went to see it. 5 star review for the Cathedral experience.

Two extremely helpful young men were manning the desk. The exhibits were of excellent quality, and the information boards ideal. Got completely lost in time. Really good value at £3.50. Felt I had really stepped back in time in the lovely atmosphere of the House
10. Mappa Mundi & Chained Library Exhibitions
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 757 reviews
Although the Mappa Mundi and Chained Library are in the same location as Hereford Cathedral, they have their own purpose-built building and carry a separate admission fee.
Reviewed By Orange54 - Warminster, United Kingdom
The Chained Library is a small room with alphabetically arranged shelves, all with chained books on shelves in what is the wrong way round. That is spine inwards. The room space smells old and it is in a modern extension. The entrance lobby has the Mappa Mundi, a very religious take on a world map.
