Walk Joys Green – Lydbrook – Along River Wye – Symonds Yat
I enjoyed a very nice walk from the bus stop in Joys Green with the plan of getting to The Saracens Head Pub at Symonds Yat in time for last orders for a prearranged lift back home to Gloucester. This is a photo blog of my day.

1st Stop Bus From Gloucester To Joys Green
Joys green was chosen as it is the closest stop I could find to the River Wye in Lydbrook that was a direct service. The Bus is the number 23 from Gloucester. Time Table…

3 Down Through Lydbrook To The River Wye
The next phase of the walk was down the B4234 through Upper Lydbrook and then Lower Lydbrook. I stocked up with drink at the local shop in the village but decided a pint in The Anchor Inn or The Jovial Colliers Inn was not for me today. The walk was all down hill until reaching the Wye.
