Ross-on-Wye in generalNewest Review: ... itself. That nice, old red sandstone market hall centre-piece thingy they've shown you on the dooyoo illustration is hands-down the best thing about it, and gives an overall completely false impression of the niceness of the place. The town centre has the usual range of nation-wide highstreet shops, (noticeably, slightly more of the downmarket-type ones) and more second-hand shops than you can shake a stick at.

And so preferable, in my opinion, to all the modern buildings and towns we see all too frequently nowadays.
