Symonds Yat Tourist Information and Travel Guide in the county of Herefordshire.

Symonds Yat Rock is a scenic viewpoint towering 120 metres (394 feet) above the river on the Gloucestershire side. From this viewpoint, between April and August, peregrine falcons can be seen nesting on the cliff side. Other birds of prey including Goshawks and Buzzards can also be seen. Volunteers from the RSPB help visitors to use telescopes provided in a joint project with Forest Enterprise, owners of the site. Yat Rock is a popular location for climbers. Some of the climbs are dangerous. 

Symonds Yat is split in two by the River Wye, with Symonds Yat West in Herefordshire and Symonds Yat East in Gloucestershire! There is a hand-pulled ferry across the River, which is the only direct link between the 2 villages. The area is prone to get busy as it is both a popular tourist haunt and out door activity venue, but parking is plentiful. There are Peregrine Falcons nesting on the cliffs, barn owls, foxes, badgers and fallow deer, as well as bluebell woods – there are designated paths allowing visitors access to the plentiful (and protected) wildlife. Symonds Yat Rapids play host to much canoeing and Kayaking. Nearby is the Museum of Mazes, a Butterfly Zoo, an amusement park, Goodrich Castle and the market town of Ross-on-Wye.
