John Kyrle High School student, Lucy Rabone, is a relative newcomer to the area but has already fallen in love with the beautiful surroundings of Symonds Yat, where she lives.

The remote nature of her surroundings are one of the reasons why her family settled there. Lucy told the Ross Gazette that the recent flooding, along with the fact that the main access road to her home has been closed for over a year, has made life very difficult but she would not want to live anywhere else.
