Wilton Castle, Ross-on-Wye

Unlike Goodrich Castle, Wilton Castle is privately owned, so cannot be explored as such but it 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.

Wilton Castle, Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire dates from the thirteenth century but there has been a fort at the site since the reign of Stephen. See also: Wilton Castle English Heritage Grant - March 2005 Wyenot News Item

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.
