Symonds Yat itself is in a recognised Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is well known for its scenic riverside and forest walks.

Cycling, Canoeing, Kayaking, Climbing and Fishing are all popular activities pursued here.

Kingfisher cruises operate from outside The Saracens Head. They offer 45 min cruises along the River with guided commentry.

There’s over 1000 miles of public footpaths in the Wye Valley and surrounding area. Including the popular Sculpture Trail, The Wye Valley Walk & Offas Dyke Path.

You can download our very own Symonds Yat walking guide here (this is also available in the pub as a leaflet). Or perhaps have a read of our blog post guide on Wye Valley Walks.

Why not explore the area by River? You can hire a canoe or kayak from the Wyedean Canoe & Adventure Centre located next to The Saracens Head.
