After finally setting off on my hike from Llanwarne, Herefordshire, I was glad to be at one with my home county’s beautiful countryside again.

Hereford is full to the brim of historic buildings. From the centuries-old cathedral to the Victorian Butter Market, the city has countless styles of architecture to see, so there is something for everyone. But what of the less well-known buildings that are hidden in plain sight along the streets?
