Symonds Yat is a village in the Royal Forest of Dean. It straddles the River Wye and is a popular tourist destination owing to its stunning river scenery and ancient wooded expanses. Symonds Yat Rock rises 500 feet from the banks of the River Wye and is an internationally renowned viewpoint – the river winds its way around the limestone outcrop through a deeply wooded gorge. It is the site of an Iron Age hill fort and the film location used for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. Download your ’12 Easy Walks’ leaflet (pdf).
