World famous for its natural river scenery and magnificent viewpoint is Symonds Yat Rock, a heavily wooded limestone outcrop some 500 feet above sea level. Here the River Wye twists and winds its way into a large horseshoe bend, five miles long, in a deeply-wooded gorge. A great beauty spot and popular all year round, Symonds Yat is especially attractive in the spring and autumn when the tints of the foliage are at their best.   • Spotting Peregrine Falcons, Symonds Yat • Canoeing, Symonds Yat • Beautiful Country Walks and Hiking, Symonds Yat • Fishing, Symonds Yat • Biking, Forest and Riverside Cycle Ways, Symonds Yat • Rock Climbing, Symonds Yat • Golf Club, Monmouth • Offa’s Dyke • Three Great Local Country Pubs • Fresh Local Food Bistros and Fine Dining • Tea Garden, Symonds Yat • Dean Forest Railway • Goodrich Historic Castle, Goodrich • Amazing Hedge Puzzle, Ross on Wye • Wye Valley Butterfly Zoo, Symonds Yat • Wye Valley Centre, Chepstow • Beautiful Historic Town of Ross on Wye • Hereford Cathedral • Historic Gloucester Cathedral • Clearwell Caves • King Arthur’s Cave, Symonds Yat • Newland 13th Century Church, Newland • River Cruises and Famous Hand Ferry , Symonds Yat • Dean Heritage Centre
