For #SecondHandSeptember we took the opportunity to spotlight just a few of the pre-loved shops in Daffodilshire that really stand out for us – certainly worth a nosey whilst you’re passing through, but there are more that could make for a full day’s exploration on the 232.

A small, family-run curiosity shop on the High Street, offering a wide range of antiques, vintage and retro items.
2fold Vintage | Ross-on-Wye
A new second-hand and vintage clothing shop, with everything from streetwear to sportswear on the rails.

The Architectural Store | Ross-on-Wye
An independent, family-run business specialising in vintage Ercol furniture, lighting, toys and teddy bears, alongside bespoke dining tables made from reclaimed materials.
Great Oaks Hospice | Newent
A charity shop stocking clothing, household and electrical items and a huge range of books, which describes itself as “a real Aladdin’s cave” because you never know what you’ll find.
