Final Descent on Verderers Trail (Blue)

Highlight • MTB Park

A brilliant final descent on the blue route, and probably the one you've been waiting for!

With some rollers, big 180 degree berms and corking views, this fast and fantastic descent is a real treat.

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. …

Saracens Head Inn

Highlight • Rest Area

Excellent pub with rooms and great food.

It's a stunning location on the east bank of the River Wye, nestled at the point where the river meets a steep wooded gorge.

View of the River Wye at Symonds Yat East

Highlight • Viewpoint

Scenic river with a hand pulled passenger ferry across to the other side (not sure if you can take bikes on it). Cafes and pubs to sit and enjoy the view and a campsite on the road leading down.
