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)

Traffic is light enough that you’re better sticking to the main B4348 that runs through the village rather than bothering with the narrow lane that runs parallel on the west side of the river.

One of the most scenic village greens in the county, overlooked by a cafe/deli and a grocery store if you want to stop.

A couple of ramps but generally a pretty steady gradient, and the top arrives quite quickly.
