The Royal hotel, Ross on Wye, dates from 1836-7 and is one of the earliest, purpose-built hotels (as opposed to inns) in Britain. It is a large, three-storey, stuccoed building located on the site of the old Bishop's Palace, in a prominent position overlooking the meander of the River Wye. The two large, ornate lamps shown above flank the main pedestrian entry to the building.
