About Stella & Rose's Books

Quality editions and collectable titles: visit us in the beautiful Wye Valley on the border between England and Wales.

Situated in the lovely village of Tintern - well known for its ancient abbey - Stella & Rose's Books has been established since 1991 and normally has around 30,000 books in stock. Since October 2018, all books previously held at Rose's Books in Hay-on-Wye are now permanently located at Tintern.

Stella Books Webcam

Due to recent flooding, we have fitted a webcam to the outside of our shop to allow us to monitor the river level remotely. But it also allows our customers to get a view of the Wye Valley!

We'll try and keep the camera pointing in a sensible direction. Let us know if you spot anything interesting! The image should refresh around every 10 to 15 minutes.

To see a large version of the image, click here.

If the camera is pointing up-river, you might just get a peep at our very smart sign on the riverbank as well as views of the river sweeping around the bend toward the old Tintern station.

If the camera is pointing down-river, you should just be able to see Tintern Abbey above the trees as well as the old Wireworks bridge and the Rose & Crown pub.

Meet the team. These are our main staff members. We also have a number of part-time staff.
