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. Keep a look-out for other birds, including sparrowhawks, ospreys, buzzards, and owls.

Hiking

Symonds Yat is a village in the Wye Valley and a popular tourist destination, straddling the River Wye in the English county of Herefordshire, close to the Gloucestershire border. It is within a few miles of Monmouthshire and the Welsh border.

The two settlements either side of the river are known as Symonds Yat (West) and Symonds Yat (East) and are linked by a footbridge and passenger ferries. Nearby is Symonds Yat Rock. The Seven Sisters Rocks are an outcrop of rocks forming cliffs above the Wye at Symonds Yat.
