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.

Parking on side of the road for two cars. Although a steep climb their are lots of places stop and worth it for the views.

Outstanding vista! Leaping is not recommended

An Old Byway, which sees little use. links the lower mailscot gravel track with the upper. It's a good climb but cuts the full mailshot loop a little shorter if preferred. Take a look at the large scowel "the dropper" halfway up, with small waterfall running.

Wintour's Leap is a noted rock climbing location and viewpoint. It is located near the village of Woodcroft in Gloucestershire, on the English side of the Wye Valley, north of Chepstow. Wintour's Leap is named after Royalist Sir John Wintour who, hotly pursued on his horse by Parliamentary forces, according to local myth survived a leap off the cliff and, landing safely in the Wye below, swam to safety in the nearby Chepstow Castle. In fact, Wintour did escape from the Roundheads by using the river nearby on two separate occasions, but from less spectacular positions at Lancaut and Sedbury.

Wintours Leap is a noted rock climbing location and a great viewpoint. According to local legend, Sir John Wintour leapt off the cliff to escape pursuing Parliamentary forces, landed in the Wye below and swam to safety at nearby Chepstow Castle. More sensibly these days, the area is very popular for climbing with over 300, mostly multi-pitch routes, ranging from Mod to HVS right up to E6.

don't miss this amazing view of the Wye!

From Caldwell Rocks, you get a magnificent view over the Wye Valley. It is also a great spot to watch peregrine falcons. Around this area, archaeologists have uncovered bones from hyenas, sabre-toothed cats and a mammoth.
