DIRECTIONS: Exit A40 dual carriageway at Whitchurch, halfway between Ross-on-Wye and Monmouth and take the signed road to Symonds Yat WEST (not EAST!). This is the B4164. Go past The Old Court Hotel and the Wye Knot Inn. At The Paddocks Hotel entrance take the half right uphill road. This now becomes narrow but no problem. Continue on this road over the top of the hill, passing The Wye Rapids Cottages' entrance to your right. Carry on down the lane which will take a hairpin bend left, down to the riverside and an unmade lane. Keep on this gravel lane and The Old Post Office will be the third cottage on the left in about 200 metres with steps up to the cottage. DO NOT follow satnav! Parking is either on the run-up in front of the cottage or about 100 metres further along the lane in front of the lime kilns, where there is a small shed. Please bear in mind when parking that this area is also used for turning vehicles as most visitors will not wish to drive further along, as the lane becomes narrower in places.
