This is a delightful corner of Worcestershire. It is possible to do a circular walk along the bank of the Leigh Brook, and then back up the hill and through the woodland. Very pleasant way to while away of couple of hours or more!

Nice!

Great views of Worcestershire Beacon and North Hill. Well-surfaced lane which lead to Malvern/Madresfield

Nice quiet coffee stop

Great place to visit. Mini hidden gem near the village of Alfrick. Not suitable for road cycling and cycling as a whole. But it's definitely worth getting dismounted and having a lovely walk around.

Very well-surfaced road with hardly any holes, so nice section for a sort of fast cycling in Malvern direction

The town has a very long history (dating back to Early Saxon Age). Famous as a market town during the Middle Ages. I'd strongly recommend visiting Ledbury heritage centre, which is located near Parish church, where you can dive into the history of that place.

Be careful when decenting to this church due to a very busy A-road. The road surface is good

One of the most challenging and rewarding climbs in Malvern Hill. The road surface is brilliant

This bridge is a part of NCN 46, which connects the village of Powick and Old Worcester Bridge, thereby leading to an alleged place where Battle of Worcester took place in 1651, and start of the Monarch's Way

Good spot for a hearty breakfast before heading off for a day's riding! Open all day with some good light lunch options too! 😋

Great coffee. Craft centre

Church of St Mary Magdalene in centre of Alfrick village. Thought to date back to Alfred's time in 800s the present church was likely built in 1300s. Some lovely stonework & woodwork, clearly a well used & much loved church. Definitely worth a visit.

The trail around the Knapp and Papermill starts in an apple orchard with old lichen-encrusted trees that attract nuthatches and green woodpeckers. In autumn and early winter visitors should keep an eye out for butterflies such as red admiral and peacock or birds like fieldfare and redwing feasting on the fallen fruit. The Leigh Brook has cut a winding valley with steep woodlands and rich meadows. Look for grey wagtails and dippers on the brook and, during the winter months, listen for flocks of long-tailed tits and siskins in the brook-side alders. Dragonflies and damselflies thrive on the brook during spring and summer but only the luckiest of visitors may catch sight of an otter. The trail takes visitors along the brook, around meadows and through woodland. Big Meadow is a hay meadow with flowers such as knapweed, ox-eye daisy and yellow rattle together with a scattering of green-winged and common spotted orchids. Papermill Meadow is an old pasture on slightly more acid soil. This meadow is a favourite hunting ground for buzzards that breed in the valley. The much smaller Tor Meadow has orchids and cowslips. Butterflies frequent all three meadows and more than 30 species have been recorded here including common and holly blue, brimstone, purple hairstreak and white admiral. Each meadow is maintained by hay cutting and/or grazing. Woodland occupies about half the reserve and some areas are managed by coppicing. This traditional method of cutting down young stems to near ground level on a rotation ensures that trees never die and there is always a range of habitats for wildlife at different stages of re-growth. Coppicing helps to encourage the marvellous carpet of bluebells and other wildflowers (yellow archangel, stitchwort and wild garlic) that can be seen each spring. Wild service trees grow in profusion here along with both small and large-leaved lime as well as oaks and hazels. Dormice are encouraged through the provision of nest boxes, as are many species of birds and bats. The reserve is important for bats and 11 of the UK’s 17 regular breeding species are found here.

A latin cross, with embellished extremities, with figure of Christ on column set on square plinth, with carved dedication and names, all standing on 3 step octagonal base and on a further octagonal pavement.

Nice steady climb to have a dig.

Quiet back lanes with nice surroundings

Approaching from NorthEast->SouthWest it will be a killer climb
