Gloucester to Ross and Hereford

Ross is situated on a rocky elevation on the east bank of the Wye. In the church are several monuments of the Rudhall family, one of whom opposed Cromwell in his siege of Hereford.

The mansion and grounds excite much interest, having a good picture gallery, and a giant pear tree, covering a quarter of an acre.

Hereford, stands at a military Ford on the Wye, which King Harold protected by a castle, the site of which, at Castle Green, is now occupied by the Nelson Column.
