Nestled beneath the Cotswold outlier Bredon Hill, Ashton is a beautiful village. Its streets are adorned with gorgeous timber-framed thatched and stone buildings, some typical of the Vale of Evesham, others more in keeping with the nearby Cotswolds. The main attraction for hikers is undoubtedly Bredon Hill. Rising in isolation to 981 feet (299 m) above the Vale of Evesham, it is as if the main Cotswold family forgot one of their relatives, leaving it stranded to the north. There are panoramic views from the summit.

A great climb / descent that is often overlooked. If you don't have off-road tyres then the only way back down is the way you came up; but if you do there are plenty of paths to or from the top.

Patrick Leigh Fermor was the man who is said to have inspired James Bond. His last resting place is here in Dumbleton churchyard, fittingly with a Greek epigram.
