For cartophiles this holds one of the most wondrous maps ever, the Mappa Mundi. It is the largest known T in O map dating back to the 12th Century: the rivers Don and Nile are the top of the T, and the Mediterranean is the stem, East is 'up' and the O holds the heavens. This is the third time I've visited it and each time I am awestruck by its size and magnificence.
The chained library is also fascinating to visit and holds books dating back to 800 AD and is the oldest known surviving chained library in the world. Hereford Cathedral rocks.
I also did a few walks and managed to find a few perfect distractions, this one on top of Coles Tump (Tump being a local name for a small hill) TP5235.
Whilst traversing part of the Black and White villages of Herefordshire I managed to espy a drive-by-trig between the villages of Weobly and Eardisland. It was a short hop over a fence into a muddy field, and a hello to TP5307. Nothing like a trig or two to make a perfect trip!
