Symonds Yat is one of the most iconic and beautiful locations in the entire Wye valley. It is a kayak, climbing, hiking, canoeing, boating and cycling mecca for active sports people or families alike. I have spent many a sunny afternoon hiking, walking or canoeing through this place. A simply charming village nestled in a deep valley with the East side separated from the West side by a long drive or a short ferry crossing. There is a good Inn here along with a canoe hire centre and there are also toilets on site.
