A popular activity for those staying in holiday cottages in Herefordshire is birdwatching. Bird lovers staying at this Herefordshire cottage can enjoy the RSPB site at nearby Symonds Yat East. High above the village towers Yat Rock, a limestone outcrop 500 feet high. Peregrines have nested on the cliffs for many years until the population was decimated by the effects of pesticides and robbery from the nests. In 1982 they were re-introduced under a protection scheme. Powerful telescopes are available during the breeding season (April and August) for visitors to look right into the nests. Goshawks, ravens and barn owls can also be seen.
