Location

The picturesque riverside market settlement of Ross on Wye is the only English town standing within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Formerly a centre for leather working, shoe ma king, brewing, corn milling and glove making, Ross became a very busy Coaching town in the 18th and 19th Centuries. When viewed from either of the river bridges, the white painted faqade of The Roya l Hotel stands adjacent to the fine, 206 feet steeple of St Marys Church. With a population of around 10,000, Ross remains a bustling town and the surrender months in particular see many visitors coming to canoe, fish, cycle or alternatively enjoy more leisurely pursuits involving food and drink, perhaps downing a refreshing cider from one of the many local artisan cider makers.
