This is more of a challenge for cyclists than hikers, one of the steepest roads in the country!

The Talbot is a particular favourite, they brew their own selection of excellent beers, and the food is superb too! It is also in a great location alongside the River Teme and below Ankerdine Hill. The little chapel in the photo above is actually the Knightwick Mortuary Chapel, and it is up a nearby hill, about 3/4 of a mile from the Talbot.
