Another fine church along the way, this one is on a sharp junction that needs care.

Smaller than the similar market halls at Ledbury and Ross, but loads of old character!

The short section through Dymock Forest is delightful, but mind the potholes if you are going down hill!

Doors open. This was used extensively in the BBC Play for Today "Penda's Fen". Look out for the keystone devil's head ay the apex of the internal archway in front of the altar.

This section of the a40 has no shoulder or pavement so I don't recommend riding a bike here anytime other than late into a summer evening.
