In recent days heavy rain in Herefordshire and on the Welsh Mountains caused the River Wye to break out of its channel and flood a number of areas, including Ross on Wye. This is a reasonably regular winter occurrence and with the river guage at Ross measuring 4.7m (the highest recorded is 5.2m) the flooding was pretty much confined to agricultural land and some minor roads. The green space, playpark and bandstand at Ross on Wye are by the river and are built with flooding in mind.
