About Hereford Cathedral Gardens

Cared for by our dedicated team of Volunteer Gardeners, the cathedral gardens are the site’s best hidden asset. Explore the environs of the Cathedral site from medieval times to the present day with behind the scenes access to gardens not normally open to the public, including Chapter House Garden, the Dean’s Garden and the Bishop’s Palace Garden. In 2012 the Gardeners won 2 prestigious awards in the It’s your neighbourhood Heart of England in Bloom. They received an Outstanding Award for their work and also an Outstanding Merit Award, in 2015 featured in the Easter edition of Country Life magazine and also in 2016 in BBC Escape to the Country programme. In the spring of 2021, the gardens were featured in the Daily Telegraph.

The Cathedral Cafe is located near to the Chapter House Garden where refreshments can be enjoyed by visitors.
