Sightseeing

One of the best views of the Wye Valley. At the rock you can enjoy a coffee from the log cabin cafe and then walk down the hill to the rivers edge in Symonds Yat itself where there are several pubs with plenty of outdoor seating and a small passenger ferry (hand pulled) you can take to the other side for a small fee.
