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.

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.

Staying in Ludlow for a few days, and did a walk at NT Berrington Hall in the morning. Monkdale Cheese Dairy popped up with excellent tripadvisor reviews, so as it was raining almost non-stop we decided not to go and hunt around unfamiliar Leominster and booked a table earlier in the morning for lunch. In fact we didn’t need to book, very pleasant light and airy upstairs room (and outdoor tables if sunny). Excellent ploughman’s lunches, one ham one blue cheese so we could mix and match, and good range of soft drinks. Fantastic cheeses, cakes, pickles, biscuits, etc on sale in shop, and both that and the café were quite busy on a miserable day, promptly served by friendly staff. After lunch we dived back out into the rain, well nourished!

We are people of all walks of life with a passion for Jesus, who explore the Bible to live its truth, who are open to the Holy Spirit, who care for one another and enjoy each other’s company, who want to serve our different communities, and who have a desire to make the love of Jesus known and grow the Kingdom of God. We are actively involved in the community, in social issues, in the arts, and in the environment. We seek to be a friendly and warm parish where you can find yourself at home. Why not visit us this Sunday at our morning service, 10am? Everyone is welcome, whether you’ve been going to church for ages or have never even set foot in one before - we would love to see you! (Note: To avoid confusion between us and All Saints church, if you're looking for the Hereford City Centre church that has a cafe inside, then All Saints is the place to go!)
