Ross on Wye in the county of Herefordshire is a beautiful market town situated on the River Wye and close to the Forest of Dean. The Wye Valley and the Forest of Dean are popular tourist destinations.

The dramatic setting of Ross-on-Wye belies the friendliness of a town that has restored the spirits of world-weary travelers for centuries. 

The town has a mock gothic style to its architecture.In the past Ross has benefited from generous town folk who in the 16th Ross on Wye Marketand 17th centuries helped set-up schools, charities and hospitals. Ross on Wye in 1821 consisted of just under 3000 citizens in 600 dwellings. An agricultural community it became an important place for the nearby farms and villages to trade their produce. The Market House still holds markets twice a week. Agriculture still plays an important role today although tourism has become on of the main sources of income for the town there are some excellent shops ranging from small craft shops to some of the larger high street chains.. 

The ruins of Tintern Abbey lie between the River Wye and the A466 road at the southern end of Tintern village. The site is beautiful, with the tidal river frequently changing from a very low flow during Summer low tides to a raging torrent when Winter floods add to the high tides surging up the Bristol Channel.

The hills around the Abbey are covered with woods, changing colour with the seasons. The land upon which the Abbey is set makes the most of the sunlight, the Abbey receiving the benefit of the last of the sun shining down the Angiddy valley.
