オーバーベリーのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

そこからのマルバーンと周辺地域の心地よい眺め。あの建造物は罪のように醜いが、それも建造物だから…まあ、そうだろうね。どちらの方向からでも、そこまで登るのはそれほど難しい登山ではない。

Descending from the summit of Bredon Hill to the west you pass through Warren Wood and then an avenue of fine trees perched on the edge of the escarpment that is narrow enough to let the light in.

The biggest Cotswold outlier, just short of a thousand feet high with magnificent views across the Avon and Severn valleys.

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

The folly itself actually looks like it really is an industrial tower housing mobile phone equipment, but the views are very good. Nearby is the Elephant Stone - it looks like an Elephant kneeing down. Not far from the Cotswold Stone drystone wall is the circular stone that marks the very top of Bredon Hill.

Good parking, half a dozen spaces on Woollas Hill, near Deer Park centre. Views on way up to Folly are spectacular. Good to get the climb out the way early with gentle, long descent in to Broadway.

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

From the start at Overbury to about 210m above the sea, there's a paved section (as shown in the photo). However, from there onwards, it's a bridleway, which isn't suitable for road bikes. However, pushing for about 900m (in one direction) is definitely worth the views on the top of Bredon Hill. Average gradient 6%, maximum 12%
