Ross on Weye is a popular tourist destination, the Tudor timbered houses and impressive 17th century Market Hall give the town a picturesque quality. Sitting dramatically above the river, its 700 year old church spire shapes the skyline and from St Mary’s churchyard there are wonderful views out over the lush green scenery below.
Close by is the well known beauty spot of Symonds Yat where the River Wye has carved a dramatic gorge through the limestone to create towering cliffs. A bird watchers paradise, as the cliffs are home to a whole variety of birds including the rare peregrine falcon. The fascinating history of the area dates as far back to prehistoric times and many historical artefacts have been discovered from nearby Medieval castles, Neolithic settlements and Roman forts.
Within easy reach of the town are the cathedral cities of Gloucester, Hereford and Worcester all well worth exploring. Ross on Wye hosts the International Music Festival each year in August, held on the banks of the River Wye and creates a real buzz with many world famous artists performing.
