Activities and attractions in Symonds Yat and the Wye Valley

Sat on the banks of the Wye Valley with the Forest of Dean behind you, Symonds Yat is the ideal location to explore the area.

It’s pretty unusual on a group holiday that everyone wants to do the same things, especially if you’re a multi generational group. Some of you will revel in the beauty of the surroundings and the opportunity to spend time together; some of you may simply want to stroll down to the pub or wander alongside the river. For those of you who like to get out and do something energetic the choices are endless and so convenient. Check out the links below.

This traditional hedge maze is great fun for everyone. Find your way to the Temple at the centre, play hide’n’seek and tag! There is a puzzle shop and a fascinating museum of mazes.
