Overview
Symonds Yat is famed for its natural river scenery and wooded expanses. It is a fantastically beautiful spot, set below steep-sided wooded slopes, straddling the River Wye lazily meandering below. Symonds Yat Rock is an amazing viewpoint on a limestone outcrop that rises some 500 feet from the banks of the River Wye. Along with the nearby Forest of Dean and the Welsh Border, this is a justifiably popular walking area due to its picturesque scenery, which offers much reward for any effort expended! This hotel gives us a great scope to enjoy the best of the walks in comfort.
Includes
2 nights accommodation, 2 breakfasts, 2 picnic lunches, 2 evening meals & 2 guided walks
Extras
local transport to and from walks if used
Location & Itinerary
To allow you to choose a walk that suits you best, we will provide a minimum of two walks on each day, led by professional and knowledgeable walking guides. On each day there will be a harder walk of 10-13 miles with 1000+ft of ascent (please be realistic about your level of fitness and join the right walk for you, after all it should be about pleasure at the end of the day) and a gentler walk of 7-9 miles with less ascent. All walks are weather dependent and own transport may be taken to the walk starts.
