Foy and Hole-in-the-Wall are two villages near Ross-on-Wye that are actually split by the River Wye. Foy is on one side and Hole-in-the-Wall is on the other. In times gone by crossing from one part to the other was only possible by ferry or ford but in 1876 a suspension bridge was built and a very pretty one it is too.

View over Ross-on-Wye from Brampton Street

Highlight • Viewpoint

As you climb out of Ross (or descend towards it), you get a fine view of the town from Brampton Street, especially when there is a slight mist in the air.

Wilton Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

Located on Wilton Road just outside Ross-on-Wye, Wilton Bridge, constructed between 1597 and 1599, is crafted from red sandstone.

It replaced a previous wooden bridge that had taken the place of the original ford in the Wye.

The New Harp Inn

Highlight • Pub

Great sandwiches, with just the right amount of salad and chips not to feel too heavy for the ride after lunch. Outside table service was a bit disorganised; we watched our warm food being delivered to another table. This, after being told to return inside with a table number to be allowed to place a food order. A plan-o-gram is all they need to sort this issue. Brewdog beers were listed on the menu, but out of stock by 1:30 Saturday afternoon - really? :/. Sold another brand of beer and told it was made by Brewdog when the can said clearly otherwise; really disappointing for an otherwise decent pub in a tranquil location. The food and location save relegation.

Hoarwithy Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is a particularly fine stretch of the river Wye, as recognized by the Wye Valley National Landscape. The stretched out village of Hoarwithy occupies the west bank, with its unusual Italianate St Catherine's church. The river is crossed by the old toll bridge with it's little Tollhouse - they stopped collecting tolls in the 1930's when the bridge was bought for public ownership.
