Hereford Cathedral

Our beautiful building is the home of a community that has worshipped and worked here continuously for well over 1,300 years. All are welcome to visit, and entry is always free. Hereford Cathedral also houses the Hereford Mappa Mundi, a copy of the Magna Carta dating from 1217, King John's Writ, and a unique Chained Library. Hereford Cathedral endeavours to be as accessible as possible, ensuring an equal experience for all visitors, regardless of impairments. We understand that not all conditions are visible, such as autism, dementia or chronic illness, and we aim to create an environment where all visitors feel welcome and comfortable. Ultimately, we want to share the cathedral’s spirituality, heritage and sense of place with every visitor, in a way that is accessible to them.
