Ledbury Circular Walk

15.04 miles (24.2 km)

Ordnance Survey Map Open Streetmap This Herefordshire based market town is a splendid place for a walk with waymarked footpaths to follow into the nearby Malvern Hills. It's also awash with numerous historic Tudor buildings including a fine 16th century pub for rest and refreshment after your exercise.
This walk from the town uses sections of the Geopark Way and the Three Choirs Way to create a circular walk through the area to the east of Ledbury. On the way you will visit the Eastnor Deer Park before climbing into the Malvern Hills for some amazing views over the area. This section visits Herefordshire Beacon and British Camp where you explore the ancient Iron Age Hillfort.
The return leg from Colwall takes you through countryside and woodland to Wellington Heath before returning to the town with views of the Ledbury Railway Viaduct.
