central Wilton Castle is now fully restored and open to visitors. The town is rich in art boasting a number of distinctive metal sculptures created by renowned artist and local resident Walenty Pytel. Steeped in tradition, with its Thursday and Saturday markets and bustling with people shopping the Ross way, independence is king here; you’ll find organic food, fresh bread, ciders and juices. There are plenty of restaurants to enjoy, pubs to quench your thirst and cafes to catch your breath in and reflect on just what a find Ross-on-Wye is.
