The Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is an internationally important protected landscape.
It can be inspiring throughout the year, even when mists shroud the hills and the river is swollen with rain. The secret to the valley's attraction lies in the drama of its gorge and its dense woodlands. The steep hills lead up and open out to spectacular viewpoints and then down to peaceful riverside pathways
From Symonds Yat Rock you can see wonderful views of the river. You may even glimpse peregrine falcons, which nest in the cliffs nearby. The many walks include a steep path down to Symonds Yat East and the river.
