View of the Wye Valley from Symonds Yat Rock

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

Symonds Yat East Ferry Crossing

Highlight • River

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.

Symonds Yat Hand-Pulled Ferry

Highlight • Bridge

This is one of two hand pulled ferries in the Symonds Yat area. The other one is at the Saracens Head pub. Both ferries at Symond’s Yat are enshrined in locally history and they make up a traditional way of life and will only cost you a bob or two.
