Embraced by the River Wye, the market town of 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.

Ross-on-Wye Christmas Fayre takes place in the town centre with over 80 stalls selling handmade arts and crafts plus delicious artisan food and drink including decorations, candles, bath bombs, ceramics, jewellery, cheese, chutneys, hampers, brownies and blankets. Enjoy a bite to eat or a mulled wine to warm you up whilst you listen to live music at the Market House from local choirs and bands.

This a great opportunity to do a spot of Christmas shopping and get into the festive spirit!
