Our self-guided walking trails app helps you to trace the history of Ross-on-Wye and to learn more about this beautiful Herefordshire town.
The name Ross-on-Wye is derived from the Welsh or Celtic, ‘Rhosan’ meaning ‘a promontory’ and the ‘on Wye’ part was added in 1931. This market town has a history going back to the Bronze Age times. The architecture of its present buildings include Tudor, Georgian and Victorian.
The town is renowned as the birthplace of British Tourism. In the 18th Century, the Rector of Ross developed his Wye Tour along the river from Ross to Chepstow. After taking the tour, William Gilpin published the UK’s first guidebook about the Wye Valley in 1872, which sparked a trend for ‘picturesque tourism’, and you cannot get a more picturesque place than Ross-on-Wye.
