New Ross on Wye Visitor Centre

The linking of tourism and heritage facilities in Ross-on-Wye will see the re-opening of the Market House as the Market House Visitor Centre on January 31, 2011.

Work is currently underway to bring the best of the heritage and tourism offers together in order to make the Market House a one-stop-destination for visitors to the town and county as well as for those with an interest in the history and heritage of the area.

Two new counters will be put into the building and the present displays will be altered so they can accommodate both heritage and tourism displays. The building is also being decorated throughout.

Councillor Adrian Blackshaw. Herefordshire Council’s cabinet member for economic development and community services, said: “This is an exciting opportunity for the town to combine the key elements of tourism and local history in a way that enables visitors and local people to experience the rich heritage of the area. I am sure it will also be good for local business as well. “

The supervisor of the new venture will be Claire O’Reilly who will be assisted by a team using the experience and knowledge of both the heritage and tourism teams. Claire is well known in Ross, having been the supervisor at Ross TIC over a period of time.
