Historic Heritage Sites

Herefordshire's landscape is defined by its border history, featuring Norman strongholds like Goodrich and Wigmore Castles alongside the Iron Age earthworks of British Camp. The collection spans millennia, from the Neolithic chambered tomb of Arthur’s Stone to the 13th-century Hereford Cathedral. Architectural styles range from the timber-framed Grange Court market hall to the 19th-century Gothic Revival design of Eastnor Castle and the fortified manor house at Croft Castle.
