フォレストオブディーンでののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

This is the lesser known viewpoint around Symonds Yat, but just as with Symonds Yat this is a place to visit in the autumn when the trees are in full colour and the sun is on them to make them really shine.

Symonds Yat is a wonderful place to come, but even better to catch it in the autumn when the trees are in full colour, with the sun on them to make them really shine.

The Giant's Cave is a small pass through cave with a great view of the River Wye and Landscape

Such a great view

There are 2 trails here, with the starting point served by a nearby car park. It is also en route of the Wye Valley Trail One trail is classified as intermediary and a bit longer then the other "challenging" one. Both lead to the op of the cliff, the latter mostly by laid stones marking steps. A tough climb but the view is simply outstanding. There is also a bench and panoramic plaque highlighting what can be seen from the viewing platform. Loved it!

There are a couple of caves in this area. The first (coming from Chepstow) is very shallow and raided above the path. The second "Giant Cave" has outstanding safe viewing platform outside it, and the cave actually opens into a secondary exit allowing passage through the rock. This is a natural formation it would appear. Highly recommended!

After the initial ascent, this footpath meanders close to the cliff edge. Warning for hikers or runners with vertigo. The views alternate brweeyn stunning woodland and glimpses of the Wye Valley below

Beautiful rolling views from the now derelict building.such a shame as it would be even more magnificent views from the top floor
