Location
The picturesque riverside market settlement of Ross-on-Wye is the only English town standing within the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Formerly a centre for leather working, shoe making, brewing, corn milling and glove making, Ross became a very busy Coaching town in the 18th and 19th Centuries. When viewed from either of the river bridges, the white painted façade of The Royal Hotel stands adjacent to the fine, 206 feet steeple of St Marys Church. With a population of around 10,000, Ross remains a bustling town and the summer months in particular see many visitors coming to canoe, fish, cycle or alternatively enjoy more leisurely pursuits involving food and drink. Eastfield Road lies just under a mile south of the town centre and is one of the most established and sought after residential areas. Whilst benefitting from being an exceptionally quiet location, it also has the distinct advantage of being within a very short walk of the the town's facilities. For those concerned with strategic location the M50 and A40 road network are accessible within a few minutes drive.
