A SELECTION of 17 independent shops have formed a Vintage and Design Trail through Ross-on-Wye to highlight the town’s retailers. 

The trail offers shoppers the chance to browse a unique mix of vintage, new, and antique goods. The retailers on the trail will be displaying a variety of antiques, collectibles, bric-a-brac, vintage and retro clothes, jewellery, arts, crafts, and furniture. 

From garden boutiques like Dor's Garden to vinyl record shops like Wye Vinyl, the trail has something for everyone and is expected to attract both serious buyers and casual shoppers alike. 

One of the shops included on the trail is The Architectural Store, an independent, family-run store specialising in vintage, retro, and new lighting, furniture, and architectural ironmongery. 

Vintage Virtue is also featured on the design trail, offering upcycled and repurposed furniture made from vintage materials. 

The Vintage and Design Trail starts at Crowsfeet on Cantilupe Road and after looping through Broad Street and High Street, it eventually finishes at Handmade clothing and homeware store Walker and Walker on Gloucester Road. 

The trail aims to promote community engagement. Each participating store brings its own unique flair and passion for craftsmanship, reflecting Ross’ rich cultural heritage. 

Leaflets and maps detailing the trail can be picked up from any of the Tourist Information Centres in the town, making it convenient for visitors and locals alike to explore this exciting scheme.
