Why a Symonds Yat Cottage?
Looming high above at a spectacular horseshoe bend, Yat Rock
offers sweeping views over Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and
Monmouthshire. There's a Peregrine Viewing Point from April to
August, with RSPB staff on hand. Do also look out for barn owls,
goshawks, badgers, foxes and fallow deer. Down below rapids race
through the steeply wooded gorge - great for exciting journeys by
canoe, kayak or white-water raft. Other activities include walking
riverside trails like the Wye Valley Walk and cycling along an old
railway line.
Elsewhere, some scenes from the popular Netflix series Sex
Education were filmed around the village, including the home of
Otis Milburn!
