steep climb out of Alderton, around the edge of fields, then up steep and rocky Byway great spot to stop and take a breath at the top. I completed on a gravel bike, but MTB would be easier

Pleasant views of Malvern and the surrounding areas from up there. The folly is ugly as sin but then it IS a folly so... yeah. Not a particularly difficult climb to get up there from either direction.

The biggest Cotswold outlier, just short of a thousand feet high with magnificent views across the Avon and Severn valleys.

This is quite a spectacular place but quite rightly the Conservators and local authorities have securely fenced it off as there have been a large number of drownings here over the years. People have jumped off the low cliffs inot the freezing cold water and have also collided with old machinery and vehicles that are hidden under the water.

Great pit stop on your ride or hike and a choice of pub or cafe, both are great 👍 recommended!!

The folly itself actually looks like it really is an industrial tower housing mobile phone equipment, but the views are very good. Nearby is the Elephant Stone - it looks like an Elephant kneeing down. Not far from the Cotswold Stone drystone wall is the circular stone that marks the very top of Bredon Hill.
