쉬운 클리프턴 어폰 테메 주변 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

Someone thoughtfully left a bucket of oats for this forest pony, who seems to have grazed all the surrounding grass.

The Talbot is a particular favourite, they brew their own selection of excellent beers, and the food is superb too! It is also in a great location alongside the River Teme and below Ankerdine Hill. The little chapel in the photo above is actually the Knightwick Mortuary Chapel, and it is up a nearby hill, about 3/4 of a mile from the Talbot.

Top of the hill, there's a bench, with excellent views toward Berrow Hill. Take a breather doing hill reps from Kingswood Common, and read the plaque.

Well kept footpaths through the woods. Trail along the Teme bank, or higher up the valley. Off road shoes essential, mind your step for some tree roots.

Red sandstone rock formation - low cliffs of exposed stone that has been historically quarried for building materials. A path runs along the bottom and the top, currently (Sept 2024) overgrown in places. An information sign gives details among the nettles.

A circle of birches, some fallen from storms.

Expect damp paths and some mud, but gorgeous, with wildlife to spot if you're quiet.

I walked this part in February, and it was extremely muddy, but nevertheless, still never navigable. Probably better when you are sure that the ground has dried out.

Great river walk with some access for people to do wild swimming / cool off.

Where long socks

Built around 1166, the ruined chapel at Brockhampton is one of the longest-standing man-made features of the estate. It was added to over the years, including by the Domulton family, who built the 'new' manor house in the 1400s.

Brockhampton Manor is a picturesque, moated manor house built over 600 years ago. It is surrounded by 1,700 acres of estate with woodland, parkland, farmland and over 65 acres of orchards. NT members/paid entry to the main area but there are good footpaths around the wider estate, including the Herefordshire Trail, a 153 mile circular route.

A random horse made of wood. The neck looks weird but interesting stop on the route round

The Chapel is in ruins but still nice to go it. Have a look at the font

Impressive entrance you can go inside bit nothing worth seeing

A great NT Property with knowledgeable staff free parking and good cake

Ankerdine Hill, at 489 feet (149 m), is part of the Abberley Hills ridge in the Abberley and Malvern Hills Geopark. The ridge was formed during the Silurian period and is of considerable geological significance. The River Teme loops around the hill, surrounding it on its western, southern and eastern side, giving it superb views of the Teme Valley. It is most commonly ascended from the village of Knightwick, where the award-winning Talbot pub is a good post-hike option.

Knightwick is a small and pretty village nestled below Ankerdine Hill and within a meander of the River Teme. It is a superb base for exploring this beautiful part of the country, with the Abberley Hills ridge and the Malverns on your doorstep and within easy driving distance of the Wye Valley AONB, the Shropshire Hills AONB, and the Cotswolds AONB. In terms of accommodation, the Talbot is a 15th-century coaching inn that serves excellent food and has rooms, perfect after a long hike.

Kingswood Common, on the banks of the River Teme, is a lovely place for a ramble. There's a privately owned nature reserve here and the woodland's apple trees are evidence of long-lost orchards. The views of the verdant Teme Valley are beautiful, especially in spring when the fruit trees and flowers are at their most colourful.

1st Stop for a pint and a sandwich if lunch time or a great steak in the evening. Fabulous views from the pub garden
