Guidebook for Wellington
Sightseeing
Hereford is proud of its beautiful cathedral which is steeped in history. There is a surprising amount to see inside (even if you're not religious!) with some beautiful contemporary stained glass along with much more traditional windows. There is also the Mappa Mundi, the chained library and the Mundi Cafe. They also do cathedral, garden and tower tours but you'd need to check their website to check days and times.

Only 10 mins drive from The Nook. The castle itself is stunning and tours are available, but the grounds are also magnificent. There is a traditional walled garden, an amazing maze, a water garden with waterfall you can walk behind and a cafe in the orangery overlooking the lawns that lead down to the river. Check out their website to see what's on at the time of your stay. Well worth a visit.

About a 20 min drive and well worth a visit if you like history and parkland. Berrington Hall is a neo-classical mansion with grounds landscaped by Capability Brown. There is a lot to look out both in the main house and surrounding buildings. The grounds are vast with lovely walks around the lake. There is a nice cafe for the obligatory coffee and cake!

The largest body of water in Herefordshire which is managed by the Wildlife Trust. The River Lugg borders the site making it a good place to spot otters at dawn and dusk. You can picnic and stroll through beautiful orchards as well as river and lakeside meadows. A public hide allows you to enjoy views of the birds and other wildlife in the refuge.
