Tourism
Discover Ross-on-Wye – birthplace of British tourism and a gateway to the Wye Valley, with scenic walks, river adventures, markets, and more.
Ross-on-Wye Town Council considers tourism to be an integral part of the town and aims to make it a popular destination for domestic travel and for international visitors.
Ross-on-Wye is known as the Birthplace of British Tourism and 2020 marked 250 years since the first ‘Package Holiday’, a trip down the River Wye from Ross to Chepstow.
Visitors continue to enjoy the river for its beauty as well as leisure activities such as canoeing, cycling, fishing, paddleboarding and walking, whilst the historic town centre draws visitors with its independent shops, weekly markets, old buildings and attractive streets.
The Town Council works closely with surrounding tourism boards to assure we can be included in any upcoming events, campaigns, media visits and collateral. If you have any questions, would like to be included in any tourism updates or have any news/press releases or imagery please email tourism@rosstc-herefordshire.gov.uk.
