This section of the a40 has no shoulder or pavement so I don't recommend riding a bike here anytime other than late into a summer evening.

Great lanes wiggling through park country. Open views and few cars

Garden centre with cafe/restaurant.

I could obciously dismantle, use bridge to cross but better option is to ride on full speed thru the water 😉

A medieval market and fair town which has been settled since Roman times Newent is a pretty little town with some interesting old buildings including the grade 1 listed 13th century Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary. There are also several black and white half timbered Tudor buildings including the Market House in the main street.

The Woodshed is located right at the entry to Eastnor Deer Park, which played host to the legendary Malvern Classic MTB event for a number of years, but isn’t normally open to cyclists. There’s plenty of seating, both under cover in the “shed” and out in the fresh air, bike racks, a toilet, bins and even free wifi. Dog-walking friends or family will appreciate the dog shower and poo bins. There’s a decent-sized free car park so, if you wanted, you could easily start/finish the circular route here rather than in Great Malvern as I’ve suggested. On offer from the café are locally-sourced treats, including paninis, samosas, scotch eggs, soups and handmade sausage rolls from nearby Legges of Bromyard. Those with a sweet tooth won’t be disappointed either, with assorted cakes, bakes and ice creams on the menu, including gluten free and vegetarian options. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate and cold drinks are also available. Drinks and food are served in recyclable or compostable packaging and all waste is sorted for recycling.

Cheeky indeed. It seemed almost out of keeping with the surroundings. An impertinent little hill.
