#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.

"Bank Cottage sits in a perfect location, with amazing views across the Wye Valley. The cottage is full of character, spacious and equipped with everything you could need for a carefree and comfortable stay. There are lovely, though fairly arduous, walks aplenty straight from the cottage, or within easy driving distance. "

"Superb views and great location for this comfortable cottage. Tricia is a lovely host, very responsive and helpful. Would highly recommend for a family of four."

"We had a great stay at Down Farm Manor for a family get together. The house is well presented and gave us lots of space in an amazing setting. We enjoyed walking and visiting the Woolpack."

"Overall this was a good stay, rooms were nice and clean and there was plenty of space for 10 adults to stay. However, both ovens failed to heat properly which made cooking a bit of a pain. Check in process was not great, only being able to arrive between 5-6, the owner did not respond to any prior messages. Despite this, the local area was stunning, and the house was fit for purpose and good value considering the price of other locations in the area for a group this size."

"Lovely stay at the bungalow. Three friends on a singing weekend nearby. It was very well equipped, clean and peaceful. A drainer rack for the sink would be useful and the mattresses were a little ‘tired’. Nevertheless it was great for us and we would stay there again."

"Property was so cosy and clean. The views were to die for. Extremely remote snd lovely and quiet but not too far to be able to drive to certain places. Thankfully the owner of the property made our stay work after the booking agent hadnt informed her we were coming as she had no knowledge we were booked in."

"We had a very relaxing time, the road is quite busy, otherwise it is in a good location.The owners are very obliging and want you to enjoy your stay."

"Our stay at Thornbury Castle was amazing! While we were only there for one night, it was a spectacular experience. We felt like royalty. The three course dinner was delicious and well prepped. We stayed in the Mary Queen of Scots room which had a wonderful view of the fountain. The room was spacious and elegant with a host of amenities. All the staff was so kind and helpful. Perfect stop on our honeymoon trip. Definitely plan to return in the future. "
