As the title really, I'd like to explore Bredon Hill near Pershore, the Shire. Where could I park up to access it best ?
Thanks.
You can park very close to the top of Hill Lane in Elmley Castle. There’s a bridleway at the top of the lane that takes you up onto the hill.
There really isn’t much to explore though; I’ve ridden up there a few times when there’s absolutely no possibility of going anywhere interesting, I certainly wouldn’t travel any great distance to ride there. (Waits patiently to be contradicted)
There’s better riding on Cleeve Hill and Leckhampton Hill.
Just a thought about trying somewhere different tbh. I lived in Malvern for my first 30 years, I have been living in the VoD (Vorest of Dean) for 22 years, I just want to try Bredon.
Nice views better for a walk as said above ok if you include it in a gravel ride say but hardly worth driving there and parking to go for a ride better going to Lecky hill then on to Cranham woods via Birdlip and onto Painswick beacon I live in Cheltenham only ridden up there twice been MTBing biking for 30 years hay ho everybody to there own.
As said, a bridleway/gravel tootle (with nice views). It’s ancestral home turf for me but tend to just walk the dog there if anything. More of a ‘sit and ponder across The Vale’ kind of place but ok for a quick loop on the gravel beast. Slightly more interesting if take bridleway from Overbury up through the springs to then circle back around Hill Barn to Kemerton
+1 Lecky, first place I ever rode an MTB 👍🏼
It's very much an up-and-down hill. Climb, decend, climb......etc. Until exhaustion or terminal boredom set in. Good view from the top though.
Ha ha,ok cheers all !
It's got cracking views from up there. Sure it's not gnartech to the max, but it's a lovely area to ride up.
Follow the route by mtb Foodie would be a good bet.
You have to get your picture on the elephant stone.
It's our local hill , happy to show you round.
