"Famous scenic spot for views of the River Wye and outdoor activities."
Overview
Views along the River Wye are stunning at the renowned viewpoint of Symonds Yat Rock. Home to an Iron Age hill fort, the site is also one of the best places in the country to watch peregrine falcons. Snacks are available in the log-cabin-style Symonds Yat Rock Café. Waymarked trails link to the River Wye or there are circular walks into the forest itself.

About the area
Gloucestershire is home to a variety of landscapes, including the Cotswolds, a region of gentle hills, valleys and gem-like villages that roll through the county. To their west is the Severn Plain, watered by Britain’s longest river and characterised by orchards and farms marked out by hedgerows that blaze with mayflower in the spring; beyond the Severn are the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley.
