Hereford is one of only five Historic cities of Britain. The main attraction is the red sandstone Hereford Cathedral, dating from 1079 which contains the Mappa Mundi, a medieval map of the world dating from the 13th century which was restored in the late 20th. It also contains the world famous Chained Library. Surrounded orchards and lush pasturelands, Hereford is home to the world-famous, white-faced Hereford cattle and some of the finest cider around, best sampled in the city's pubs.
