#lksawaydays 5b/2020/ After a stroll around the charming town of Ludlow our plan was to stretch our legs on one of the Symonds Yat Rock Trails. The drive back south took us about an hour and by now the weather had deteriorated but not enough to put us off. After a final sharp right turn we arrived at the large car park set in the woods, the viewpoint and trails are free but there is car park charge, we paid £4.80 for a 5 hour stay. As first time visitors to Symonds Yat we decided to head to the viewpoint first and then tackle one of the trails. Symonds Yat sits inside the Wye Valley in Herefordshire just a stones throw from the Gloucestershire border. Once you reach the viewpoint you will see a truly visual spectacle as the River Wye winds itself through the gorge. It’s definitely worth revisiting on a spring sunny day. Next up was to tackle one of the trails, we opted out of the 17km ramble as today was not that day but worthy of our time later in the year, we settled on the 2.8 mile trial. The other trails look fab and on one you have to use a hand ferry to cross the river!
#lksawaydays gives Symonds Yat Rock a 👍
Not many pictures taken as the weather was generally bleak so we just enjoyed the walk.

Holiday Inn Express Gloucester - South by IHG

5/5 Excellent

"Unfortunately the hot weather spoilt this stay. The room 304 was like Satans Inferno - so hot - the provided fan only moved hot air around - air con would have been so much better. Nearly went down to sleep in reception which is air conditioned. "

Very impressed

"We were very impressed by the De Vere, a beautiful place, very comfortable. Loved the Library Bar and restaurant. The breakfast, with loads of,choice and variety was impressive, and the staff were pleasant and polite. The room was comfortable and clean. Although no air con, a good fan was provided, but then the weather was particularly hot! We also enjoyed the Tipi restaurant, lovely food, with excellent waiting service. We would definitely return, to check out the area generally."

"A real surprise. As good as many a top hotel for a quarter the price. Spotless, comfortable, generous tea and coffee and biscuits in the room. Large flat screen tv. Excellent mattress. Plenty of toiletries.plenty of luxurious towels.Was quiet although close to the road. Slept like a top. What’s not to like? "
