It's a steep pull up Walsgrove Hill from the north, and in the winter it will be slippery and muddy due to the activities of the sheep that live in this field. However, it offers fine views across to the clocktower and beyond.

Amazing rock formation in the woods. Well worth a visit. The path to the south side of the stream is badly overgrown. Here are some notes on its formation: https://earthheritagetrust.org/southstone-post/

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.

View to the West The lower part of Walsgrove Hill and the hill on which Abberley clock tower stands are Silurian siltstone. The valley of the River Teme cuts into soft mudstones of the upper Silurian Old Red Sandstone with the harder sandstones of the lower Devonian Old Red Sandstone forming the Bromyard plateau. The low hummocky ground at the base of these hills is underlain by Carboniferous age Coal Measures rocks. These form the southerly tip of the Wyre Forest coalfield. Coal was mined here until the early twentieth century. To the north west, the Clee Hills are also formed of Carboniferous rocks. A molten layer of rock pushed between the layers and formed a hard black dolerite rock, the Dhustone, which slowed the erosion of these still prominent hills and is quarried for roadstone to this day.

Great views. Nice place for taking a break

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.

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.

Walsgrove Hill boasts fantastic views from its 869-foot (265 m) summit towards Abberley Hill and its clock tower. It is at the northern end of a ridge that also contains Cockshot, Rodge, Pudford, Penny, Berrow and Ankerdine Hills. Formed during the Silurian period, the ridge is part of the Abberley and Malvern Hills Geopark, an area of considerable geological significance, spanning 700 million years of natural history.
