The Man of Ross pub is a great looking building dedicated to a local man named John Kyrle. He was a major benefactor of the town in the early days, he donated money for schooling, houses and planted many trees throughout the town.
We called into the 'Man of Ross' pub for a drink. It is a really warm and cosy place which has a nice looking separate dining area.
The House where John kyrle once lived is the attractive timber framed house opposite the old Market Hall in the Centre of Ross.

Ross-on-Wye, which has the original name of Ross. The name change came about from a traveling photographer cum postcard seller who decided that Ross-on-Wye was more poetic and hence would sell more......
Ross-on-Wye is a historic market town with Tudor timber framed houses around a Market Hall, 17th century. St Mary's Church has a 280 foot spire, and dates from the 13th century.
I was very impressed with the size and range of Ross shops. There was also a refreshing lack of disproportionately sized shops and many multiples were abscent.
