Ross On Wye is a small market town close to Gloucester, Ledbury and Hereford in the West Midlands and famous for it's beautiful streets of independent shops and great shopping, pulling in tourists from all over the country who travel to check out the tourist attractions and the shops here.

This is the first Gimbal Walk TV visit to Ross-On-Wye and we enjoyed it! Our time walking round the town centre and the shops was very enjoyable and we can't wait to visit there again!

Here are a few clips and quotes from websites about Ross On Wye:
"Ross-on-Wye is a market town in England, near the border with Wales"

Ross is well known for its many excellent independent and specialist shops, galleries, restaurants, cafes and hotels, many of which are dog friendly. There is also a Vintage Shopping Trail. Dominating the town is the spire of St Mary the Virgin Parish Church and next to it is the famous Prospect Gardens.

The town, located in the beautiful Wye river valley region, is famous for its panoramic views and attracts many tourists. It is also the centre of a highly productive agricultural district.

Ross-on-Wye Town Council is responsible for running the twice weekly markets which are held every Thursday and Saturday from 9.00am to 3.00pm.

Welcome to Ross on Wye
Embraced by the River Wye, Ross-on-Wye is an inviting place to potter. When William Gilpin wrote Britain’s first travel guidebook about the Wye Valley in 1782, he sparked a trend for ‘picturesque tourism’. Today, as well as enjoying that same scenic beauty, you can browse independent shops, saunter alongside the town’s 19th-century mock-Gothic walls and Gazebo Tower folly and admire pastel-hued dwellings tumbling down the hillside to the river.

The town is the centre of a region historically dubbed Archenfield or ‘Land of Hedgehogs’, and you’ll find examples of the icon in St Mary’s Church, dating back to the 17th century, and on more recent memorials to the Boer War and Second World War.

250 years of tourism
William Gilpin may not be a household name but his legacy has led to one of biggest industries in Britain.

It was 250 years ago in 1770 that he took the first step by organising boat trips along the River Wye, and writing a seminal bestselling book ‘Observations of the River Wye’.

From those humble but visionary beginnings what was later described as The Picturesque Movement came into being, giving a name to a new appreciation of the natural world and its beauty.

The Wye Valley is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, much as it was 250 years ago. This year, 2020, heralds a year long calender of arts, crafts and fun events to celebrate his achievement and the beauty of the Wye Valley. More information at: www.gilpin2020.org
