A little history
Ross-on-Wye was celebrated by Alexander Pope as the home of John Kyrle — the 'Man of Ross' who beautified the town at his own expense in the early 18th century. The Market Hall — built 1674 — stands on sandstone pillars in the market place. The Wye Valley AONB begins here.
The Market Hall is magnificent. The Wye Valley walk from Ross is outstanding — one of England's great river walks. The Prospect Gardens for the best Wye views. The town centre for good independent food.
