말번 힐스 최고의 라이딩 경로

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!

Toilets and water refill here 🙂

Lovely Abbey, but more importantly there are nice public toilets close and you can fill your water bottle there too 😁

Until the 20th century, it was the only bridge across River Severn from Tewkesbury to Worcester. Now, it's a well-surfaced bridge with Severn Way going perpendicular to it.

A very attractive building that appears more recent than it actually is (consecrated in 1879). Inside, the most immediate striking feature is The Corona above the nave altar - a circle of eight winged 'spirit figures'. Various alterations to the layout and function of the different areas have been made over the years and there are items from the old church (that this one replaced) and others. A lovely place to spend time in quiet contemplation.

Great church on the descent in Pershore direction. Beautiful mosaics inside

Until the later half of the 20th century, the bridge at Upton was the only one across the River Severn between Worcester and Tewkesbury; the present bridge was built in 1940. Oliver Cromwell's soldiers crossed the Severn here to win the battle of Upton before the main Battle of Worcester in the English Civil War.

Great views from a small hill. Croome Court Panorama Tower is very close, and it's definitely worth visiting - gorgeous views of Eastern Worcestershire & the Malvern Hills

Once created as an observation tower for guests of Croome Court to see all the territory of the realm. Nowadays, it is managed by National Trust. Free entry

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

Great abbey, which was built by the order of St. Oswald, Bishop of Worcester, whom Anglo-Saxon King Edgar entrusted to build the Abbey. Lovely place with benches, worth visiting

Wonderful roads right under Malvern Hills. Highly recommended lanes, but look out for sheep and cows on the middle of the road😄

A saxon Chapel inside a church of various stages of expansion, from Norman. Georgian and victoriana design.

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

Fantastic lane around Oyster Hill goes to Cradley/Ledbury. Some occasional ascents/decents and breathtaking views of Herefordshire.

There are circular benches, right under the oak. Alternatively, you can sit near a small lake in front of the oak.

Nice, not a very quiet place, though, in Hanley Swan. There are 3 benches, so you can sit down and look at local fauna.

Beautiful church along well-surfaced road which can lead to Upton/Malvern/Worcester depending on direction
