This is a particularly fine stretch of the river Wye, as recognized by the Wye Valley National Landscape. The stretched out village of Hoarwithy occupies the west bank, with its unusual Italianate St Catherine's church. The river is crossed by the old toll bridge with it's little Tollhouse - they stopped collecting tolls in the 1930's when the bridge was bought for public ownership.

In the words of the National Tranport Trust - Wilton Bridge is an exceptionally fine red sandstone bridge. In 1597 an Act was passed authorising its construction. It was completed within the next 2 years. There are five semi- circular arches each with 3 ribs and massive cutwaters on each side, carried up and splayed back from the outer angle at parapet level forming semi-hexagonal refuges. At the point where the splay dies out is a moulded string which is mitred and carried up to the angle against the spandrils of the arches and then mitred and carried across to form a label above the arches. The voussoirs of the arches are chamfered and joggled and have various masons' marks. On the upstream side the bridge has been widened but now the parapet has been replaced by a wooden handrail. The South East approach to the bridge has been rebuilt in ashlar with 2 flights of stone steps to the river bank. The sundial, formerly in one of the refuges has disappeared, and only the base of the pedestal remains. All in all it is a fine bridge, and has done well to weather the floods that happen most winters - as evidenced by the erosion of even the top stones on the arches.

Hole-in-the-Wall is a settlement on the banks of the River Wye close to Foy and Ross-on-Wye. It's a wonderfully peaceful place to sit and watch the river.

Located on Wilton Road just outside Ross-on-Wye, Wilton Bridge, constructed between 1597 and 1599, is crafted from red sandstone. It replaced a previous wooden bridge that had taken the place of the original ford in the Wye.

Canary Bridge (formally the Greenway bridge) was renamed in memory of The Canary Girls who worked in the Rotherwas Munitions Factory. The pedestrian and cyclist suspension bridge links the centre more directly to the Rotherwas industrial estate over the River Wye.

Foy and Hole-in-the-Wall are two villages near Ross-on-Wye that are actually split by the River Wye. Foy is on one side and Hole-in-the-Wall is on the other. In times gone by crossing from one part to the other was only possible by ferry or ford but in 1876 a suspension bridge was built and a very pretty one it is too.

You'll need cycle uphill a bit

A spectacular bridge over the River Wye. Pleasant to the eye.

Famous place for local anglers

A suspension bridge build in 1898 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria.

Victoria Bridge is an eye-catching suspension footbridge spanning the Wye between Castle Green and the Blackmarstone meadows. It was opened in 1898 to commemorate the 1897 Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria, replacing an earlier ferry crossing, and features intricate iron lacework.

It's nice short cut when you trying to a avoid busy Herefords road.

My favourite local Wye Valley view

short bridge across the river Wye, with access to the river itself.

You can get a good bounce going if you walk in step!

September 2020 and the New Harp is open again and looking good after a big re-fit during lockdown. I don’t know how it is yet, though. I went past yesterday and there was quite a crowd of patrons outside.

This is a good place to rest before tackling the thankfully short 1:5 hill on the way towards Ross on Wye!

Bridge across the river Wye that leads to a cycle path. If you're lucky the ice cream van may even be at the end of the bridge which will give you a good excuse to sit and enjoy the view for a while.

Great sandwiches, with just the right amount of salad and chips not to feel too heavy for the ride after lunch. Outside table service was a bit disorganised; we watched our warm food being delivered to another table. This, after being told to return inside with a table number to be allowed to place a food order. A plan-o-gram is all they need to sort this issue. Brewdog beers were listed on the menu, but out of stock by 1:30 Saturday afternoon - really? :/. Sold another brand of beer and told it was made by Brewdog when the can said clearly otherwise; really disappointing for an otherwise decent pub in a tranquil location. The food and location save relegation.
