Symonds Yat East

Highlight • River

Sitting on the Peregrine Path below the infamous Symonds Yat Rock, Symonds Yat East is a lovely quiet hamlet on the Wye with a couple of good pubs to take a pitstop.

Be sure to sample one of the Wye Valley Brewery's beers. Butty is a great choice.

If you are familiar with the popular Netflix show Sex Education, the main house is located slightly up the hill from the village.
