Ross also houses two gp surgeries, and both of these, plus the local community hospital, are approximately half a mile from the property.

Numerous spectacular woodland, riverside and country hikes are nearby, including the Town and Country Trail, Chase Woods, the John Kyrle circular walk, and The Rope Walk – the latter of which is an enjoyable stroll which leads alongside the River Wye.
