This is one of our favourite walks from Doward Park Campsite to the riverside pubs in Symonds Yat. In around 30–45 minutes you'll wander through peaceful woodland before reaching the River Wye, where you can relax at one of the riverside pubs, either Ye Old Ferrie Inn or cross the hand ferry to The Saracens Head.
