Very well-surfaced road with hardly any holes, so nice section for a sort of fast cycling in Malvern direction

The town has a very long history (dating back to Early Saxon Age). Famous as a market town during the Middle Ages. I'd strongly recommend visiting Ledbury heritage centre, which is located near Parish church, where you can dive into the history of that place.
