*************

Ross-on-Wye (Welsh: Rhosan ar Wy^[2]) is a small market town with a population of 10,089 (according to the 2001 census)^[3] in south eastern Herefordshire, England, located on the River Wye, and on the northern edge of the Forest of Dean.

The town is known for its independent shops, picturesque streets and market square with its market hall.

Regular Thursday and Saturday markets are held at the red sandstone^[9] Market House building^[10] in the town centre, which was built between 1650 and 1654 replacing the older, probably wooden Booth Hall. The upper storey of the Market House now houses a Visitor Centre.

The town has not had a cinema since "The Roxy" in Broad Street closed its doors in 1985^{[citation needed]}. The cinema site was purchased by Gateway Supermarkets for development.

Opposite the church, The Prospect is a public garden offering a view of the famous horseshoe bend in the River Wye, as well as views as far as the Black Mountains. The ruins of Wilton Castle, which lie to the west of the town, have now been restored and are open to visitors. The town has a number of sculptures created by Walenty Pytel, the left bank of the River Wye shows two of these. Despite the commonly held belief that both depict swans, one in fact shows ducks.
