Location:

The spectacular setting of Symonds Yat is set within the heart of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is famed for its gorgeous riverside landscapes. There is a multitude of welcoming country pubs and restaurants that are exceedingly popular with residents and tourists alike. There are many delightful walking and cycle routes throughout the area and, for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits, various companies offer a wide range of activities such as canoe hire, rock climbing and caving.
The closest village, Whitchurch, is particularly sought after, partially owing to its Church of England Primary School which is graded as 'Outstanding' by Ofsted. The popular community-spirited village shop, Woods of Whitchurch also operates as a coffee shop and takeaway. In addition, Whitchurch boasts a village hall, a reputable MOT centre, a highly commended hospitality venue - The Old Court Hotel - plus a post box and bus stop. Symonds Yat is just two miles from the Welsh border and centred between the popular market towns of Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth, both of which offer highly regarded secondary schools, supermarkets, restaurants, pubs, leisure facilities and independently owned shops. A series of major road networks are also easily accessible; the A40 is around a mile away and the eastbound road provides a direct route to Gloucester, Cheltenham and the Cotswolds. Meanwhile, motorists heading in the opposite direction can journey towards the M4 at Newport, giving access to Cardiff and London. In addition, the M50 motorway begins in Ross-on-Wye, around eight miles away, which gives good access to the M5.
