Happy New Year and hello January 2025!
With the new year, we often think of new goals to improve our mental and physical health. So, why not join thousands of people across the world trying a more plant-based or vegan diet in January?
Veganuary is an annual challenge that began in 2012 and for many, it’s about more than just a month of eating vegan and trying new foods — it’s about making a positive impact on the environment. Herefordshire, with its beautiful landscapes and rich biodiversity, offers a perfect backdrop for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint.
If you don’t feel like making the switch to a vegan diet for January, little changes still go a long way to improving your physical health! Ross-on-Wye offers lots of cafés and restaurants that offer plant-based alternatives for you to try (or revisit) this January – which are also great options if you have a dairy free diet! So, whether you are trying out an alternative milk in your coffee or vegan version of your favourite pizza, this January is all about trying something new in Ross!
For those that are keen cooks, take advantage of the weekly markets in Ross Town Centre when shopping for fresh produce – simultaneously supporting local business and traders. Our markets run every Thursday and Saturday under and around the Market House.
We want to know your recommendations so don’t forget to tag #visitrossonwye when posting about your favourite spots or comment them below!
