The New Harp Inn

Highlight • Pub

Great sandwiches, with just the right amount of salad and chips not to feel too heavy for the ride after lunch. Outside table service was a bit disorganised; we watched our warm food being delivered to another table. This, after being told to return inside with a table number to be allowed to place a food order. A plan-o-gram is all they need to sort this issue. Brewdog beers were listed on the menu, but out of stock by 1:30 Saturday afternoon - really? :/. Sold another brand of beer and told it was made by Brewdog when the can said clearly otherwise; really disappointing for an otherwise decent pub in a tranquil location. The food and location save relegation.

Holy Rood Church, Mordiford

Highlight • Religious Site

Holy Rood Church is a pretty parish church that is synonymous with the Mordiford Dragon; the legend of which has changed with the paintings of it in the church. Holy Rood has a 12th century core with a 13th century but was largely rebuilt in 1811 after flooding. It is Grade II-listed.

Hereford Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

The location of Hereford Cathedral has been a site of worship since at least the 8th century. The oldest part of the building you can observe today, however, is the bishop's chapel, which dates to the 11th century. The cathedral, which is Grade I-listed, is home to Mappa Mundi, a medieval map of the world created around 1300 by Richard of Holdingham.
