Famous for its second-hand book shops and annual literary festival, Hay on Wye is the perfect 'mooching' town, free from chain stores and high street coffee shops. It has plenty of great coffee shops, pubs and restaurants as well as independent boutique shops. Market day on Thursday mornings is not to be missed. Most places in Hay are dog friendly and there are circular walks from the car park taking in the countryside and/or the River Wye.

Herefordshire is a big county and the market town of Ross on Wye is located in the southern region, some 40 minutes drive away from Whitney on Wye. It is said the historic market town was the birthplace of tourism in 1770. Its river location makes it popular for canoeing and fishing and there is a riverside walk. If you are hungry, Avelino's Italian restaurant is a personal recommendation.
