Churches and Cathedrals in Symonds Yat

"A place of worship for more than 1000 years, Gloucester Cathedral is steeped in history and is a stunning display of medieval architecture. It should definitely be a place of interest when looking for somewhere to stop when you're out on a bike ride or a walk in the city. The organisation is passionate about sustainability and committed to doing its bit for the planet and as such has not only installed solar panels to the roof but has also transformed the former car park into Cathedral Green, a welcoming outdoor space for everyone to enjoy."

"Arguably the city's most famed landmark, the cathedral is not only the site of Henry III's coronation and Edward II's burial, but in more recent times, the filming location for a number of film and television productions including Harry Potter and Doctor Who. The cathedral is currently open to the public from Monday to Saturday, 10am to 5pm, and Sundays noon to 5pm. It is also open for worship Monday to Saturday at 12.30pm and 4.30pm as well as Sundays 10.15am and 4.30pm."

"Halfway up a thickly forested hillside in the Vale of Eywas, this tiny 11th-century church is like a time capsule of Welsh faith and culture, buried too deeply in these hills ever to change. Astonishing as it is in its perfectly situated, weathered simplicity, it's inside that its true wonders reveal themselves: a finely carved wooden rood screen and loft, dating from around 1500; medieval frescos of biblical texts; coats of arms and a red-ochre skeleton; and memorials to people long dead."

"The haunting riverside ruins of this sprawling monastic complex have inspired poets and artists through the centuries, most notably William Wordsworth, who penned 'Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey' during a visit in 1798, and JMW Turner, who made many paintings and drawings of the site. It was founded in 1131 by the Cistercian order and left to fall into picturesque ruin after the monks were booted out by Henry VIII in 1536."
