High on a sandstone cliff overlooking a large loop in the River Wye is the historic market town of Ross-on-Wye. Built of red sandstone in the 13th century, St. Mary's Church dominates the view and is well worth a visit. In the centre of the town, twice weekly markets are held under the sixteenth century Market House in which is found the Heritage Centre. The River Wye is very much part of the town, attracting many canoeists, rafters and rowers. Less strenuous pursuits include fishing, walking and simply enjoying the tranquility of the river bank. A full list of the events happening on the river, including the 100-mile Raft Race and Ross Regatta, can be obtained from this information centre.
