Coach trips welcome – shops, walks, history, restaurants

Visitors have always loved Ross-on-Wye and many thousands flock to the town throughout the year arriving by coach.

They come for the shops, the walks, the history trail, the Tudor buildings, the river Wye and the restaurants and bars.

The town welcomes coach operators and provides parking in convenient locations.

A map of the town with all car parks listed can be found under the Location tab on the menu bar.

Redmeadow car park on Kyrle Street has spaces for three coaches and is convenient for the town, especially useful for visitors with mobility issues.

Just outside the town is the Cattle Market and coach operators need to book by calling 01989 162225.

There are coach drop-off points at Cantilupe Road, close to main bus routes and National Express coaches. Other drop-0ff points are outside the historic Market House and outside the Merton Hotel on Edde Cross Street.

Coach operators needing more information should contact the Ross-on-Wye Tourism Association via this website.

Happy birthday Mr Kyrle

John Kyrle, the ‘Man of Ross, would have been 380 years old on 22 May 2017.

The Ross-on-Wye Tourism Association recreated the atmosphere he would recognise if he could make a sudden appearance at St Mary’s Church. Perhaps he did.

Has John Kyrle returned after 380 years?
