    Lovely place

    This is a great place to come and have a picnic in the summer months. The views are amazing and it's a great place for children to explore

    Lovely Views across the Wye and beyond

    A small stroll through the church graveyard and you reach the Prospect. A good place to see across the Wye and to look back and appreciate the church and its grounds.

    Lovely views

    You can see a surprisingly long way for a climb you barely notice. You can also park your car right next to the church for access on the level.

    Make the effort

    I can only emphasise what the previous reviewer has said. Pleasant town, but please take a little time to see the prospect and the views down to the river. Cold and frosty during our visit but well worth the effort for the views and the...More

    Historic Herefordshire Landmark

    Ross-on-Wye is a very pleasant market town, but the most attractive thing to see in the town is the Prospect Gardens and historic St Mary’s church. Perched up on a hill in Church Street (strange that) the gardens are a lovely haven of greenery. The...More
