Ross-on-Wye

From the Market Place, take the second left turn off the High Street and enter the Churchyard via the steps. Follow the path passing the Prospect through the kissing gates and past Church Farm. At the junction with Red Hill Road (a track by this time) turn right then left to walk along the top of the cliffs. Continue straight on and the path goes up and down sets of steps to pass several old trackways. Eventually the cliffs end and then it is a choice to return to Ross by the river bank back via Wilton or take the path past Lower Cleeve or Cubberly and return by Hom Green road (both of which are equally as attractive).

The river bank is a well defined path with good views of the River Wye and surrounding countryside.

The Hom Green road is equally as interesting as it has a number of different styles of architecture due to the original ribbon development down the sides of the road.

The walk is now marked using markers as seen here.

The first part of the route indicated is popularly supposed to be John Kyrle's favourite walk and alongside which he planted many trees. The walk has had a number of postcards made about it showing some of the points of interest; these date from the early 1900's and a couple are shown below:
