Ledbury to Malvern 14 Jun 25

I discovered that there is a bus from Malvern to Ledbury, early in the morning (route 675 departs 0805 from opposite WH Smiths) that goes direct (ie doesnt go via North Malvern and Colwall) so I decided to try it. The route goes via Wyche cutting and Wellington, which may be useful in the future.

Starting at the market in the centre of Ledbury, I walked the normal route to the woodshed at Eastnor Castle (who were having a crisis as their POS wasnt working and they had little change!) After coffee I decided I had done the route past the Obolisk many times before so wanted to do something different and decided to investigate the southern end of the Malverns. I got as far South as Chase end hill then started North. When i got to Hollybush I realised I had never been to the top of Midsummer hill so went up there



The journey continued for ice cream at British camp, but after I passed Wyche cutting I decided i had had enough excercise so at the Gold mine stone marker deviated left and came down the slope to home

In total 15.62 miles
