Visitors can download the app and explore the town from one AR-enabled location to the next, experiencing key areas of Ross-on-Wye and viewing them as they once were. The town and surrounding areas are steeped in history, with stories to tell about its market, its famous ‘Prospect’ area with a fountain that required water to be pumped up 150ft from the River Wye, and the Wye itself with some of the world’s first tourist boat tours. Download the free app to see all of this and more in magical AR.
