A small-town identity and sense of belonging 

Many respondents describe Ross-on-Wye with real affection for its character as a place — its size, its familiarity, and its events — rather than just its physical features. 

  • “That's the town, it's not too big, it's the right size to which every person knows each other” 

  • “its small and good for families and people who dont like big cities or towns” 

  • “Well it's a beautiful town, good landscape and wonderful people” 

  • “Of course this place is special to me because I have lived here all my life but also because it is full of people, though not too busy, and is calm some days and exciting others; for example the Ross-on-wye fairs or Christmas fairs or the Ross lions organisations. I also love how there are always smiley faces round the corner and most people here are friendly.”
