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, you can browse independent shops, saunter the historic streets or, if you are feeling more active, launch a canoe. Many moons ago this region was dubbed Archenfield or 'Land of Hedgehogs' - peek into St Mary's Church to find examples of the town's icon dating from the 17th century to the Second World War.
Breathtaking views, acres of ancient forest, a dramatic river valley, picturesque towns and villages, a wealth of history and culture and plenty of things to do - the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley is a spectacular place to visit at any time of year.
