Herefordshire is a county that has a rich landscape with rolling hills, interesting rivers and acres of woodland for visitors to enjoy. But Herefordshire is not all about landscape. The built environment has been here for centuries, from the Black and White timbered houses that can be found all around Herefordshire, to the famous Norman Cathedral in the city of Hereford, where you can discover the oldest map of the World, the Mappa Mundi and the Chained Library. Many castles can also be found on high ground, built to safeguard the county many centuries ago.
