As well as spectacular scenery, Herefordshire offers historic houses, local museums and gardens, ranging from traditional cottage gardens to formal gardens with statuary and flowing water in a country house setting. Families will especially enjoy Herefordshire with its wealth of interesting animals and birds to visit and activities to enjoy such as riding, canoeing, fishing, cycling, swinging a golf club or testing your skill on a mountain board. Plus a visit to Herefordshire would not be complete without tasting some locally-brewed cider!
