Ross-on-Wye to Symonds Yat by River
Scenes from a Wye Valley boat journey, from Ross-on-Wye to Symonds Yat shot for
The journey of approximately 15 miles took 7 hours as water levels were very low following a very dry month of June. I think I walked in the water, towing the moat almost as much distance as I was able to ride in it.
Although shot from a boat in this instance for film kit carrying convenience, using mostly stop motion stills photography, this journey is a popular canoe route.

Canoeing the River Wye | Hoarwithy to Symonds Yat
In early July 2019 I spent a Friday and Saturday canoeing down the Wye with my 7 year old daughter, from Hoarwithy to Symonds Yat. It is the first time either of us has done this kind of trip and to share this adventure together was the sort of experience that makes me go all mushy and emotional.
We canoed along the River Wye, from Hoarwithy to Symonds Yat, camping the night in Ross-on-Wye.
The trip was 18km on Day one and 22km on day two. It is an easy beginner trip for anyone wanting to try out a multi-day canoe trip for the first time, as we did. I went with my 7 year old.

Half day Canoe hire trip from Kerne Bridge to Symonds Yat
Canoeing the Wye from Kerne Bridge to Symonds Yat takes half a day. We operate two trips a day, in the morning (08.30 - 09.30) and afternoon (12.30 - 13.30). You could linger with a three quarter day trip if you wished, starting at 11.00 am and finishing at 4.30pm. Ideal for an extended lunch (mind not to drink too much though).
CANOEING FROM KERNE BRIDGE TO SYMONDS YAT
Setting off from Kerne Bridge you will pass through Lower Lydbrook, and navigate around a small island. This is only 25 minutes downstream but you may wish to take a break here as there are refreshments that can be purchased here.
Continuing your canoeing along the Wye you will pass Welsh Bicknor on your right and English Bicknor on your left. At Welsh Bicknor there is a former rectory with a church in the grounds, and a large grassy area ideal for picnics.
Shortly after is the area where the 18th century Rev. Gilpin first introduced the word 'picturesque' to the English language in describing the surrounding landscape. For him it defined that kind of beauty which is agreeable in a picture.
When the river starts to turn west you will come through a beautiful valley. You will find Ship Rock high above your left shoulder. The cliffs that run along the skyline are Coldwell Rocks, home to the Peregrine falcon. The end of the line of cliffs is marked by Symonds Yat Rock. As you come under the rocks there is a shingle beach that backs onto a meadow on the opposite side, which acts as the perfect half way stop off for a picnic or a snack.
From here the River Wye takes a long wide oval course, nearly coming back on itself at Symonds Yat. But before reaching Symonds Yat you will paddle your canoe under Huntsham Bridge (the green bridge) and it takes about 25 minutes back from here.
As you enter Symonds Yat West you will see large boulders on the left, this is the landmark we advise paddlers to remember as our landing point is on the right just opposite them.

Symonds Yat and Yat Rock
A newly edited and narrated version for 2010 of the Symonds Yat and Yat Rock tourism and information film I shot for
Shot during between March and October 2009, the film covers fishing on the Wye at Symonds Yat East, the ancient rope ferry to Symonds Yat West, canoeing and river cruises. The video, slow motion and time lapse sequences of the village and Yat Rock finish with a time lapse sequence of the Milky Way rising above Yat Rock.
During the wide angle filming of the Milky Way scenes towards the end of the film, the International Space Station made an overhead pass and many meteors and passenger aircraft flew overhead.
The video was shot using a Sony SR1 1280 HD camera and both Nikon D90 and D100 cameras. Editing was achieved in Sony Vegas with some resizing of frames in Adobe Photoshop.

River Wye canoe trip, wild camping, 4 day paddle from Glasbury to Hereford
Canoe trip on the River Wye from Glasbury in Wales to Hereford in England. 4 day paddle covering approx 30 miles on one of the finest stretches of the middle Wye, passing through Hay-on-Wye, Whitney, Bredwardine, Monnington Falls and ending at Hereford. Eschewing the established campsites, we instead chose to have a few nights on gravel beaches and grassy patches right next to the river. Provided you treat the countryside with respect and leave no trace of your stay, it’s entirely feasible to camp next to the river in peaceful secluded spots, which was an inherent part of the whole trip for us. After all, it’s your world too !
