Incredibly enthusiastic guides were really informative about the exhibits - I was really enthralled, when I must admit I hadn't really expected to be!

A visit to Hereford would not be complete without a visit to the Chained Library and the historic Mappa Mundi building. This building has been visited by thousands and is quite unique to everyone, the Citizens of Hereford being very very proud to have this in our City.
The displays are easy to understand and not too long winded ideal for families, the chained library was very interesting and the staff very informative
Very interesting and the chained library has been lovingly restored. Well worth a visit and a one off.
