Spend time exploring the church of St Mary and the Town and Country Trail. Enjoy a picnic by the river and the stroll through the park.

The buggy walk is so family friendly. There is something for everyone to enjoy.

*Disclaimer* The section of the path, approaching Penyard Lane, (alongside Ross Farm Machinery) is often inaccessible to Buggies, Mobility Vehicles and walkers (unless wearing wellies), because of constant flooding and deep mud. Please use an alternative section to enjoy this walk if this is the case.

Access TOG’s Verdict
It’s great that Walkers are Welcome Towns are beginning to incorporate wheel friendly treks. This buggy walk is a great way of exploring Ross on Wye and learning about its history.
