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!

Lovely little Herefordshire village strung out along a quiet lane, The church is a delight.

We visited in June and there were friendly baby cows and to be petted in the cowshed by the road. Milk is being sold here by the litre

Excellent home made cakes! Run by volunteers.

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.

Good climb up out of the town from the High Street.

Steep hills on this scenic little road. I used my eBike to make it more fun!

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.

Another beautiful view on the route

Good place for ☕️or🫖break

Pencombe is a small beautiful village. Surrounded by fabulous views and few climbing.

Fantastic views eastwards across to the range of the Malvern Hills and the summit of the Beacon.

Scenic village that marks the start point for a great climb up Hegdon Hill.

Great independent cafe with delicious sandwiches and toasties as well as coffee and cake.

Short climb with nice views arround

Spectacular views, fantastic place

Great views. Nice place for taking a break

Bromyard is a beautiful small town. You can visit many nice places around the Town by choosing this route

This viewpoint, below the summit of Dionscourt Hill at 291m, offers far-reaching vistas out across the Teme valley - a great place to pause for breath after the climb.

The trig point at the top of Hegdon Hill stands at 255m, making this peaceful summit officially a Marilyn. The views out across miles of rolling Herefordshire countryside are well worth the climb, and nearby Hegdon Hill Vineyard is well worth a visit, too.
