Oldest man made structure in Herefordshire, and a rightly famous ancient monument in a superb setting.

The tall spire of St Peter's can be seen for miles, especially from the south and the hills that surround Peterchurch. It is also the last resting place of Pt Robert Jones VC, who was awarded the honour for a desperate action at Rorkes Drift.

Worth a look in the churchyard to see the grave of Private Robert Jones VC, who was awarded the Victoria Cross from the Battle of Rorkes Drift (1879)

A super nice cycleway that goes along the banks of the Severn and beyond. The surface is super good and avoids busy road sections. A good alternative if you were doing the LEJOG like us.

Great spot for a break

loverly lakes

These man-made Lakes back in the days were a popular spot for swimming, unfortunately, swimming is forbidden now, but it serves great fishing purposes now. There are 3 lakes in total. No cycling is permitted on walking trails around these lakes, but if you have a safe place to leave your bike, you can explore around with pleasure.

Until the later half of the 20th century, the bridge at Upton was the only one across the River Severn between Worcester and Tewkesbury; the present bridge was built in 1940. Oliver Cromwell's soldiers crossed the Severn here to win the battle of Upton before the main Battle of Worcester in the English Civil War.
