Ross-on-Wye, Market town in Herefordshire, England
Ross-on-Wye stands on a sandstone cliff above the River Wye, featuring a central Market House built of red sandstone and narrow streets lined with Tudor buildings.
The town received its market charter from King Stephen in the 12th century, establishing itself as an essential trading center for the surrounding agricultural region.
The St Mary the Virgin Parish Church dominates the townscape with its tall spire, containing medieval monuments and graves of notable local philanthropists.
Regular markets operate every Thursday and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the Market House, offering fresh produce, crafts, and local specialties.
The Prospect Gardens, created in the 17th century, provides views of the River Wye's horseshoe bend and contains archaeological remains from the Roman period.
