Herefordshire HR9 6JL
Symonds Yat is one of the most iconic and beautiful locations in the Dean Wye. There are three distinct parts: Yat Rock, a viewpoint with incredible views over the River Wye; and the villages of Symonds Yat East and Symonds Yat West on either side of the river.
Symonds Yat West is on the Herefordshire side of the river and Symonds Yat East is on the Gloucestershire side. The only connection between the two banks are two ancient hand or ‘pull’ ferries by which the ferryman pulls people across the river using an overhead rope for a small fee. The only connection by road is a five mile trip upstream over Huntsham bridge.
