A quite impressive rock formation that really does look like an elephant lying down.

It’s a tree, on a hill, with a bit of a bench around it near a golf course.

299m hill with fantastic views of Malvern Hills, Pershore, and Avon Valley. Also, this is the first Cotswolds hill from the Worcestershire side.

Warren Wood is a pretty pocket of woodland located near Bredon Hill in Worcestershire. A winding trail leads you through the beautiful Cotswolds forest, which can be enjoyed in all seasons.

The Single Beech, also known as lone or lonely beech, is a single-standing windswept beech tree holding the title as the tallest tree in the Cotswolds, standing at 317m high. There is a magnificent 360 degree panoramic view here where you can really appreciate the scenes of the Cotswolds and surrounding area, including views across Cheltenham, Gloucester & over the Severn Vale to Wales.

Beautiful quiet woodland with a bridleway running through it. Take care to stay on the bridleway and off of the adjacent footpath.

The PARK at Elmley, which belonged to the lords of Elmley Castle, was possibly made about 1234, for in that year Walter de Beauchamp received from the king a gift of ten does and three bucks for stocking his park at Elmley. In 1298 the wood in the park was worth 4s. yearly. Thomas de Beauchamp Earl of Warwick complained in 1349 that several persons, including Robert de Amyas, parson of the church of Great Comberton, had hunted in his free chase at Elmley Castle and carried away deer. The park was enlarged about 1480 by the addition of part of the demesne land of the manor called Court Close. In 1478 William Adams was appointed keeper of the park and warren at Elmley Castle. In 1480 John Mortimer was appointed master of the game in Elmley Park, and in 1484 John Hudelston succeeded to this office, but it was granted in the following year to Richard Naufan, and in 1488 to Sir John Savage. Henry VIII appointed Sir John Savage and his son John Savage keepers of the park and warren in 1512. Walter Walshe was appointed keeper in 1528. He died in 1538, and Thomas Evans and Rowland Morton both wrote to Cromwell asking for his aid in obtaining the position, the latter saying, 'if it please the King by your Lordship's mediation to prefer me, I and mine shall stand balanced in also et basso, live and die in your Lordship's retinue.' He also begs credence for his messenger 'and will give your Lordship £20.' Neither of these suppliants received the post, which was granted to Urian Brereton. The park was included in the sale to Christopher Savage, and remained in his family until 1822, when it was sold with the castle to Colonel Thomas Henry Hastings Davies. It now belongs to Lieut.-General Henry Fanshawe Davies, J.P., D.L.

Also known as the Banbury Stone, there is conjecture about the exact origin of the Elephant Stone. Some believe it to be an ancient focus for the dark arts, others say it was a type of amber stone dedicated to the sun by druids. There's also a superstition that if you kiss the stone on Good Friday you will be cursed with bad luck.

Fantastic views over the Malverns and towards Wales.

Benches with a view and some lovely messages. Ideal pack lunch stop.
