Foy Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Monument

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.

Ross-on-Wye Market House

Highlight • Settlement

Nestled by the River Wye, Ross-on-Wye is a charming market town.

Originating from the first travel guidebook by William Gilpin in 1782, it inspired picturesque tourism.

It has independent stores, 19th-century mock-Gothic walls, a Gazebo Tower folly, and colourful homes cascading down the hillside to the river.

Kerne Bridge over the River Wye

Highlight • Viewpoint

Quite a local landmark hereabouts, especially if you are on the river. An ancient crossing point that has been about in one way or another since roman times. An important bridge connection on the Wye that at one stage was tolled. Failure to pay the toll made you liable to a £5 fine. Some things have never changed!
