Need To Know Hereford & Worcester

Available for over a year

Situated between the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley, Symonds Yat East could be yours for £6,750,000. An approximately seven-acre site including two hotels, two car parks, cottages and leisure businesses is available on the website Rightmove, courtesy of estate agents Christie & Co, Hotels. Locals and visitors have shared mixed reactions to the news, with many urging prospective buyers to retain the village's 'magical' setting. The village is also home to The Chalet, the red-and-white house made famous by the Netflix show Sex Education, which was home to Gillian Anderson and Asa Butterfield's characters, Jean and Otis Milburn. On the opposite side of the River Wye is Symonds Yat West, which includes Ye Old Ferrie Inn and the hand-pulled ferry known as The Frog. Closer to the A40 is the campsite, amusement park and butterfly zoo. It is also another spot well known for its paddlesports.
