Overview

From the start there is a moderate 1.3 mile, 150m (492ft) ascent to the trig point on Coppet hill. Continuing on beyond the trig point we follow the ridgeline, absorbing the far reaching views as we slowly begin to descend to the river Wye. We then walk down river under the Symonds Yat view point before eventually making our way back gradually uphill to Goodrich, perhaps to enjoy a cuppa and something tasty from the café.
