View of the Wye Valley from Symonds Yat Rock

From Symonds Yat Rock you are afforded a stunning view over the picturesque Wye Valley. This viewpoint is one of the best places in the country to watch peregrine falcons. …

Symonds Yat Forest Path

Highlight • Forest

If descending with bags or dodgy brakes I would go slow. This road is beautiful but north of the Yat Rock bridge is very narrow and quite steep in spots. …

St George's Church

A nice church, apparently with an ancient carving of St George slaying the Dragon above the door. The graveyard has amazing views and lots of benches with which to enjoy the views.
