Best to star at Symonds Yat East car park to avoid steep steps from The Woodlands/Symonds Yat Rock car park. Get to the river early as car park fills up quickly. The Biblins bridge is wobbly due to its construction and only 6 can cross at a time. There are steep climbs in places with rocky surfaces which will be slippery when wet. Arthur’s cave is not large but you can walk inside. A beautiful walk if challenging in places. Make sure the hand ferry is running if you return on that side if the river!
