Unlike
Goodrich Castle,
Wilton Castle is privately owned, so cannot be explored every
day but the owners do hold regular open days during the summer
months. The castle makes an interesting and scenic building to
view from across the River at Wilton, Ross-on-Wye. Walking from
the town via Wye
Street, keep the river to your right and walk for a further
1/4 mile. There is also a public footpath which passes close to
the Castle - continue to the other side of Wilton Bridge and take
the steps to the right, leading down to the opposite riverbank.

Dave
and Jacqui Newman would like to welcome you to the White
Lion 16th Century Riverside Inn. Situated
right on the banks of the River Wye at Ross, the White Lion
is a picturesque local inn with an interesting history and
is noted for its spectacular river views. The White Lion
has long been a favourite place to relax by both local people
and tourists alike.
The
White Lion's extensive and picturesque gardens reach right
down to the river's edge and are a wonderful place to enjoy
views of the river. It is a great spot to watch the local
otters, nesting swans and other wildlife.
