You’ll find a friendly community with famous attractions, exciting activities, specialty shopping, and great food beneath towering woods and hills. Get the most for you and your family from your time in the countryside:

Symonds Yat West is easily reached by the A40, roughly halfway between Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth and just minutes from the M50 motorway.
Forest Holidays in the Forest of Dean and Welsh Bicknor Youth Hostel are nearby, and the walk to Symonds Yat is wonderful.
Ross On Wye
Ross-on-Wye is regarded as being the ideal holiday centre to explore the Wye Valley, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and as far as Monmouthshire in Wales. From cider making to arts and crafts, from the industrial legacy of the Forest of Dean and its woods and hills to its towns and villages, all are within striking distance of the town.
The River Wye offers the best fishing, canoeing, kayaking and stand up paddleboarding in Herefordshire.
