Description: | Looking south east across Ross on Wye from the position of the present A449. The town is built on red sandstone cliffs on the banks above the River Wye and is thought to be named after the Celtic word 'Ros' meaning something forthstanding or headland. No doubt mindful of its potential as a tourist destination, Ross attained the suffix 'on Wye' in 1931. | Subjects: | Aerial View Townscape | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Wingham, H A | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
