GET TO KNOW THIS HISTORIC COUNTY HIRE
Described as ‘England’s most rural county; Herefordshire has it all; unspoilt countryside, distinctive towns and villages, and a whole host of varied landscapes. At the heart of it all is historic Hereford. Set on the banks of the River Wye, Hereford has retained its charm and character, despite its city status. Close to the Welsh border and the Brecon Beacons National Park, Herefordshire is
just an hour’s drive from bustling Birmingham, yet it feels like a million miles away. Foodies will delight at the county’s delicious local produce, which includes
the world-renowned Herefordshire beef, spring asparagus and winter root veg, plus mouthwatering summer cider and apple juice to wash it all down. With something for everyone, here’s a selection of things to do and places to visit the next time you head to Herefordshire.
WYE VALLEY BUTTERFLY ZOO
Step into a tropical world, teeming with exotic butterflies from around the world. As well as getting to know about these fantastic creatures up-close, you can
also learn about how they transform from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis, before hatching out as a beautiful butterfly. Visit the zoo shop, which is well stocked with gifts, butterfly
plants and books on wildlife before trying out the zoo’s Amazing Hedge Puzzle. Plus, on the same site you can even enjoy a game of Laser Tag or Mini Golf, making for a fun and full-on day out.
