View of the Wye valley from Symonds Yat Rock. Forest of Dean

Running up through the Iron Age fort and then around its eastern border, this trail follows tracks and roads through attractive mixed woodland.

A slightly rougher section runs downhill but returns to the car park on forest roads.

A nearby viewpoint can be reached by following a short section of the Mailscot Wood Trail, which has a rougher surface and steps.

What do other visitors say?

It would be very useful to have a trail/s specifically geared for the disabled. More disabled people than ever, in wheelchairs or mobility scooters, wish to participate in outdoor activities & enjoy as much as possible of our countryside. Look at the website for the New Forest in Hampshire where they have such trails full of useful information such as toilets, benches, cafes, gradients & underfoot conditions. Perhaps you might consider this for your wesite.
