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.

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.

Jump off the bike and head on foot down the footpath east of the road to reach the Symonds Yat Rock. Symonds Yat Rock harbours the remnants of an Iron Age hillfort, erected roughly 2,500 years in the past. Presently, this locale stands as a Scheduled Ancient Monument, where traces of the fortifications endure as a series of embankments and trenches. In more contemporary times, Yat Rock and the Wye Valley have gained renown as the birthplace of British tourism. Beginning in the 18th century, they achieved popularity thanks to the efforts of Reverend William Gilpin, a trailblazer of the 'Picturesque' movement. His literary works left an indelible mark on the appeal of English landscape painting and served as inspiration for Romantic poets. Symonds Yat Rock viewpoint enjoys a well-earned reputation as one of the nation's prime spots for observing peregrine falcons. Yet, with a touch of patience, a multitude of bird species can be sighted here. Goshawks offer close-up viewing, sparrowhawks are frequent denizens nesting among the valley's trees, while soaring buzzards often grace the skies. Spring and autumn migrations frequently draw ospreys to this locale, with tawny owls occasionally spotted. Meanwhile, nearby nesting sites typically host barn owls, ravens, and kestrels.

This pretty, wooded area with its network of small caves - the result of former quarrying - is a nature reserve with a rich variety of flora and fauna. Horseshoe bats and rare invertebrates such as the cave spider and hibernating herald moths make their homes within the caves.

I was silly and forgot my tortch before first light don't do the same!

Beautiful views across the area. I've not seen any better views then these in this area.
